About CIAT
Established in 1965, the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT) is the professional Institute representing over 8,000 professionals working and studying in the field of Architectural Technology in the UK and overseas. As such, CIAT is internationally recognised as the qualifying body for Chartered Architectural Technologists (MCIAT) and professionally qualified Architectural Technicians (TCIAT).
Chartered Architectural Technologists (MCIAT) provide architectural design services and solutions. They are specialists in the science of architecture, building design and construction and form the link between concept and construction. They negotiate the construction project and manage the process from conception through to completion.
The Institute strives to set standards of competence for the profession, representing the interests of its members to ensure that their skills receive suitable recognition.
A range of services are provided to members and the public, including the magazine, Architectural Technology, a Directory of Practices along with advice on education and careers.
CIAT is also proud of its ever-growing network of members who are based in various regions around the country, alongside centres based in Hong Kong and the Republic of Ireland.
The Institute was founded as the Society of Architectural and Associated Technicians (SAAT) changing its name to British Institute of Architectural Technicians (BIAT) in 1986 and in 1994 to British Institute of Architectural Technologists.
