7 posts all architects (surveyors + engineers) should read

Here is a series of posts submitted over the past two weeks (week ending 23rd May 2014) by a registered architect concerning recent draft documentation issued by the representative body for architects (RIAI) for members. The comments are made by an architect who has advised Professional Indemnity insurers on defending claims against other architects and who wishes to help colleagues protect themselves. As these are an opinion pieces, we do not endorse or recommend any practices, interpretations or duties in this post. We suggest professionals contact their respective professional bodies with concerns or queries.

We hope this information may be useful to professionals implementing the new building regulations. If there are any registered engineers with similar concerns on ACEI documentation we would be interested in hearing these issues also. At time of writing there are no SCSI/CIF (representative bodies for surveyors or builders) draft documents available to their members. We suggest professionals contact their respective professional bodies with concerns or queries.
