Advice regarding senior offshore architects registration in New Zealand The NZRAB has made a policy change which will streamline the process for appropriately experienced registered architects from other countries to get registered in New Zealand. We’ve made this change because there seem to be a significant number of experienced architects from other jurisdictions working in New Zealand who are not registered here. We would like to see these architects registered. The change is that where an architect from another country has at least seven years’ appropriate experience at a senior level, he or she MAY be permitted to undertake a registration assessment for which the submission of a case study is not required. This makes the process significantly less onerous. Experienced offshore architects are NOT entitled to this process automatically. When applicants do not have a recognised qualification or the required work experience, they are required to undertake a Qualifications and Experience Assessment. This is before being assessed for registration itself. When an experienced offshore architect has this Qualifications and Experience Assessment, the panel that does the assessment MAY decide, at its discretion, that the applicant does not need to present a case study to be assessed for registration. If a case study is not required, then the applicant will be advised what material he or she needs to prepare instead, and what form the assessment will take. In that circumstance, typically the applicant will need to provide prior to the interview examples of recent work, but not in the case study format. The applicant will then participate in a two to three hour conversation in which his or her work and experience, and the practice of architecture more generally will be discussed. Through this, the applicant will be assessed as to whether his or her experience, skills, knowledge and attitude would allow that person to practise competently to the standard of a Registered Architect in New Zealand. Under the Registered Architects Act 2005 it is lawful for an architect registered somewhere else to work in New Zealand and use the title of architect so long as the source of the registration is made clear, ie on a business card that says John Bull, Architect (UK registered). However, these architects working here are not bound by the New Zealand architects’ code of ethics, professional development requirements and so on. We therefore believe that it is better to have them registered here. If you need further information on this, please contact us directly.
