We can only deal with complaints about a registered architect’s conduct or competence.
Before completing this form, please make sure that the person you are complaining
about is registered with ARB by searching the
Architects Register.
We are unable to investigate complaints about people who are not architects, but
we can take action if they have been describing themselves as one in business or
practice. For more information about this, please see the section
Use of the title architect
on our web site. You should complete this form only if your complaint directly concerns
a registered architect. For all other matters, please contact us separately.
Please complete this form as fully as you can. You should also read our information on,
Making a complaint, as this sets out what we
do when we investigate a complaint.
This form runs across a series of tabbed pages. You can move between adjacent pages
