RIBA Chartered Practices are the only architect practices endorsed by the RIBA through commitments to quality assurance, business management and client services.

By becoming an RIBA Chartered Practice, you will join architecture's most prestigious membership organisation - at a business level - and you can wear the RIBA badge with pride. RIBA Chartered Practice membership sets your business apart and helps you stand out from the crowd.

This means you will be able to share your practice’s status as a leader of the highest standards of professional, ethical and best practice in the profession. You will be able to use the RIBA Chartered Practice logo on your website, business cards and drawings.

In addition, you will be able to promote your company as an RIBA Chartered Practice and use the RIBA logo on your new business proposals, bids and tenders, as well as other documentation, demonstrating your commitment to quality.

Help us to continue to drive global standards in the profession and improve business efficiency by demonstrating your commitment to the RIBA Chartered Practice accreditation criteria. Access the latest policy standards, guides and templates on a range of issues from quality management, health and safety, environmental management, employment and equality, diversity and inclusion.

As a global membership body, the RIBA has an extensive network of regional offices, branches, partnerships and International Chapters.

By joining us, you can also shape the development of our Chartered Practice membership for practices outside of the UK by providing regular feedback and suggestions on the benefits of being an RIBA Chartered Practice in your region.
