You will need this approval to form a partnership or company that provides building design services or architectural services leading to the design of buildings. Only an approved partnership or company may lawfully use the title 'architect', and the terms 'architectural design', 'architectural services' or 'architectural design services' in relation to their work.

An application for approval of a partnership must be made jointly by all the members of a partnership.
