Good question. Unlike construction methods of today where companies travel, I feel certain local skilled tradesmen were hired to do each facet. My guess is Ford's engineers knew how they wanted the layout of the assembly and fabrication, so they probably had internal engineers work with a company architect. Maybe Don Swofford who is a noted historical architect (-and Model-A restorer) can offer some insight on when & how Architects in larger cities took on projects such as this.
