Legal Costs

Firstly Architects must pay an annual fee to use the title of 'Architect' to register with the Architects Registration Board (ARB), this costs £98.50 per person per year.

Architects will be interested in becoming a member of the RIBA. This entitles members to use the title 'chartered architect' and requires them to abide by a Code of Conduct. This costs £249 per person per year.

Architectural Technologists will be interested in registering with CIAT. This will include a £60 joining fee and then £160 registration fee every year.

There is a cost to register as a data user. This must be done under the Data Protection Act. A person must register with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO), this costs £35 per year until the company has a turnover of £25.9 million.

The RIBA chartered practise subscription is £144 for 5 members of staff. This will increase as the firm gets bigger with more staff.

There is a subscription cost of £120 to pay to the AECB. This will increase to £300 once we turnover more than £100,000
