The 2022 Annual Firm Update concluded on October 31. This year, nearly 90 percent submitted their firm information update by the deadline. This means that more than 10 percent of Firm Administrators still need to confirm or update their firm information. Instructions on how-to complete the update can be found on the AIBC website.
Those who failed to complete the Annual Firm Update by the deadline incurred a fine of $100 and may be referred to the AIBC’s Professional Conduct Department. Completing the annual update by the deadline is mandatory for all architectural firms under AIBC Bylaw 15.3 (PDF). A fine will not be charged against those who reported technical difficulties prior to the October 31 deadline, which prevented them from completing the Firm Update.
The AIBC uses the information provided during the firm update to issue accurate annual fee invoices. Registrants can expect to receive their invoices during the third week of November.
Registrant Information Update
In preparation for the 2023 Annual Renewal Cycle, it’s time for registrants to review and update their individual profile information. If you have changed your phone number or email address, moved firm locations, or made any other similar changes – let the AIBC know. All changes can be made in the Registrant Portal.
Registrants need to ensure the following is accurate:
- Basic personal contact details, including primary phone number, cell phone and email.
- Current employment contact details, including work phone number and email.
