Some Aspects of Professional Regulation - The Architects' Registration Board

His Honour Judge Humphrey LLoyd QC

The author, who became a member of the Architects’ egistration Board about 18 months ago, explains what the Board does; he looks at its composition; its statutory responsibilities (principally the regulation of the name and title ‘architect’); and the ways in which an architect may be registered as such, including the criteria for qualification. The paper goes on to consider the standards of conduct and practice set out in the Architect’s Code, the professional indemnity insurance requirements, and the investigation of complaints against architects.
