Resources
ARCHiQUOTES recommends guidance from architectural regulatory bodies.
Most developed countries have established architectural institutions, responsible for the registration and regulation of licensed architects or building designers.
Besides allowing the general public to verify accreditations, the websites of professional architectural bodies contain high quality resources for clients.
