RIBA Chartered Practice - Find an Architect

Why use a RIBA Chartered Architect?

We spend a lot of money on our property. It is one of the biggest investments that we are likely to make in our lifetime. Protect your investment by working with a team that can give you reliable advice, starting with your architect.

Architects provide a service that extends well beyond producing a set of drawings. Architects can guide you through the complex procedures of planning permission and building regulations and monitor the builder’s programme of works through to completion. RIBA members are obliged to carry professional indemnity insurance – giving you peace of mind.

What is RIBA?

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) is a world-renowned professional body for promoting excellence in the field of architecture.. They aim to ‘deliver better buildings and places, stronger communities and a sustainable environment’ and to drive excellence across the industry. To be chartered by them means meeting a series of strict requirements that ensure the practice is committed to being the best.
