Architects Code: Standards of Conduct and Practice 2010 Version
The Architects Code: Standards of Conduct and Practice has recently been reviewed and came into effect on 1 January 2010.
This section of our website includes a copy of the updated Code; a series of frequently asked questions about the Code designed to offer further guidance to architects, and a copy of the former Code.
If we receive a complaint about an architect’s conduct or competence, it will be judged against whichever Code was in place at the relevant time.
