ARB (Architects Registration Board)

The Architects Registration Board (ARB) is a UK regulatory body responsible for maintaining the register of qualified architects. It ensures that architects meet professional standards of education, competency, and conduct to protect public interest. ARB grants and renews registration, provides guidelines for ethical practice, and investigates complaints. Its role is to uphold the integrity of the architecture profession and ensure that clients receive competent and responsible design services. Essentially, ARB acts as an official authority that certifies architects are qualified and uphold professional standards.
