Architect registration number on business correspondence, advertising and websites
The NSW Architects Code of Professional Conduct requires architects to include their registration number – and in the case of architect corporation and firms – the name and registration number of their nominated architect on any stationery, presentation or construction documents (including drawings, specifications and schedules), illustration, sign boards, public notices and architectural plans, and in publications used or placed by the architect in connection with the architect’s professional practice ( S 21 (c) of the NSW Architects Code of Professional Conduct.
Websites are often forgotten in this regard. We are also hearing reports of these details being omitted from documentation submitted for planning approval.
