Thanks for sharing the information. Construction software find a great usage in construction companies these days. Even I am using one software that helps me out in sorting out construction project details I get from Construction Wire (http://www.constructionwire.com/). Although, the software is very good, but I will love to try the one you have suggested.

Comment on EU Directive – Mutual Recognition of Qualifications in Architecture by Ian Pritchard

My understanding is that

the EU Directive sets down standards for cross-border movement and recognition of diplomas in the field of architecture.
With a RIBA Part 1 & 2, you should satisfy the requirements, in terms of diplomas, to be able to move freely within the EU and register elsewhere.
the EU Directive does not cover domestic educational standards or domestic market access issues, which are subject to the principle of subsidiarity.
So the UK may continue to impose a higher standard for registration of its nationals – in this case, Part 3 – as a market access requirement.

ARB registers inward migrants and advises UK registrants on registration requirements elsewhere, and may also be able to comment.

Comment on EU Directive – Mutual Recognition of Qualifications in Architecture by redaldous

Hello There,

I am unable to decipher from this if it is possible with my RIBA parts I & II and two seperate attempts at part III during my 17 years post part II experience, in both practice and on site, and in a legally advisory way, albeit with clarity that I am not ARB -uk registered, if it is possible for a eu ‘architect’ to come to the uk and call themselves an ‘architect’ with significantly less formal education and pertinent experience than I have, in my own country.

I have noticed this happens with citizens from non eu countries professionally active here, is it also possible with eu members? I may have missed something. I would be happy if you could answer this clearly, can I be easily competed with in my own country on unfair and disingenuous eu formalities? OR am I similarly entitled to professional recognition?

Just wondered.

With thanks and Warm european regards,
