An Architectural Technologist applies the science of architecture and specialises in the technology of building design and construction. Fully qualified Architectural Technologists (MBIAT: Member of the British Institute of Architectural Technologists) have demonstrated competence in these areas and can undertake a building project from inception through to final completion. This includes issuing the Certificate of Inspection to release funds from mortgage lenders.
All members must abide by the Institute’s Code of Conduct, and those who provide services directly to clients must obtain and maintain professional indemnity insurance. Only full Members are permitted to practise on their own account under the BIAT banner.
To find a qualified Architectural Technologist, contact British Institute of Architectural Technologists at 397 City Road, London EC1V 1NH, 020 7278 2206.
BIAT can send you a Directory of Practices, which is a list of Members who offer services to the public. This is also available online at www.biat.org.uk under “find a member”.
Be aware that the titles “architectural technologist” “architectural technician” or “draughtsman” are not protected which means that anyone can use these terms. This is why we recommend that you ensure that the individual you employ is fully qualified or the practice you appoint has qualified professionals by checking their membership with BIAT(or other relevant professional bodies, such as RIBA)
