The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has responded to the call for evidence, launched today by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), for those working in architecture and the built environment.
RIBA President, Alan Jones, said:
“This Government call for evidence is very timely indeed. The climate emergency and building safety crisis continue to prompt and prove the urgent need for regulated architects’ expertise throughout the entire timeline of each project.
This call provides an opportunity to demonstrate the value architects bring to society and expand upon issues the profession faces, including those that have stemmed from impending changes to legislation, such as ensuring professional competence and brokering MRPQ agreements.
I urge the entire profession to contribute, and I look forward to reading the final report.”
