About Us:
ARB was established by an Act of Parliament – the Architects Act 1997 (the “Act”) – and is the statutory regulator of architects in the UK.
ARB’s statutory responsibilities are contained in the Act, and cover six main areas:
- Prescribing the qualifications needed to become an architect in the UK
- Keeping the UK Register of Architects
- Ensuring that architects meet our standards for conduct and practice
- Investigating complaints about an architect’s conduct or competence
- Making sure that only people on our register offer their services as an architect
- Acting as the UK’s competent authority for architects
ARB values diversity and is committed to working within the principles of equal opportunity. We therefore ask applicants to complete our Equalities Monitoring questions as part of the application process via this online portal. This information will not be viewed by those involved in the selection process, and it is not part of the selection criteria.
