Introducing the New Zealand Registered Architects Board
The New Zealand Registered Architects Board (NZRAB):
  • registers architects who have been assessed by their peers as competent to practice independently
  • maintains an online architects register, so the public can confirm that an architect is registered
  • investigates complaints and, if need be, disciplines architects.
