What is RIBA Architect?

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) is the professional body for chartered architects. Only individuals registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) may use the title "architect" in the UK — RIBA is a separate, voluntary membership offering Chartered status (RIBA, FRIBA). The RIBA Plan of Work is the de facto industry framework for staging a building project from concept to handover.
