Practice information & checks

Clear evidence, rather than assumptions.

The directory is a discovery resource. It does not mean every listed practice is a partner, verified by us, currently available or a current RIBA member.

ARB and RIBA are different

ARB maintains the statutory register of individual architects. RIBA Chartered Practice status is separate. Before appointing, check the named professional on the ARB register and confirm any professional-body claim against its appropriate source.

Participating practice review

We require a practice representative, named architect/registration details, business information, service coverage and professional-indemnity evidence. We record review dates and outcomes. A badge should describe the specific completed check, not imply an unconditional guarantee.

Practice websites and directory descriptions can change. Confirm the scope, experience, fees, insurance and appointment terms directly. Report inaccurate information →
