RIBA Site Signboards
RIBA Site Signboards are designed to achieve the greatest promotional impact for practices: they provide one of the easiest and cheapest methods of promoting your firm's work. All offices are encouraged to make use of the copyright-protected RIBA Site Signboards, which are exclusively produced by the RIBA.
The boards are available exclusively for RIBA Chartered Architects, RIBA Chartered Practices and RIBA Client Advisers, with up to three lines available for the business name. A single line of contact details should appear at the foot of the board, which can include address/ telephone/email/website details subject to space.
If wished and subject to fitting in line two/three, additional words describing the services provided could be added, for instance - "Architecture Surveying Planning Engineering". Sole practitioners may use professional affixes (in addition to RIBA) such as RICS, MICE, RTPI, etc (but not educational or degree qualifications).
Non-chartered practices may make use of the boards using the “RIBA Chartered Architect/s” category but only if ALL directors/owners of the company are RIBA Chartered Members.
For guidance on the use of business names, please refer to the relevant section within Guidance Note 3 - advertising, in the Code of Professional Conduct. For terms and conditions regarding our Site Signboards, please visit the RIBA Site Signboards terms and conditions page.
