which is an internationally recognised qualifying body providing architectural excellence since 1965.

The Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT) is the professional Institute representing over 6,800 people working and studying in the field of architectural technology in the UK and overseas. Since its foundation in 1965 as the Society of Architectural and Associated Technicians, the Institute has achieved immense change in architectural technology. Not least is the recognition by fellow professionals and the construction industry of members’ contribution to the design and construction process.

This recognition has resulted in a successful Petition to the Privy Council and the Institute is now known as the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT). Its full Members (MCIAT)may use the descriptor Chartered Architectural Technologist. This accomplishment demonstrates the members’ professionalism, ability and the high levels of education and competence in being Chartered professionals.

The Chartered Architectural Technologist and qualified Architectural Technician are vital members within the construction team and complementary to their fellow professionals within construction. All full Members, MCIAT, have achieved and demonstrated high standards of education and training. They must adhere to a professional Code of Conduct, which includes the requirement to carry adequate Professional Indemnity Insurance when providing services directly to a client.
