Consultations begin on new Architects Registration Board
The Ministry of Sustainable Development and the Institute of Architects held the first session at CFBC, with Nevis to follow.
BASSETERRE, St Kitts. The Ministry of Sustainable Development and the St Kitts and Nevis Institute of Architects (SKNIA) have begun national consultations on setting up an Architects Registration Board, following amendments to the law passed in 2025.
The first session was held at Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College and attended by architects, draughtsmen, developers and other stakeholders. A session in Nevis will follow in the coming weeks.
Topics include the proposed registration framework, how the board's role differs from that of the Institute, registration requirements and costs, and professional standards and accountability.
Once established, the board will sit under the Ministry of Sustainable Development and work alongside the Development Control and Planning Board.
"Qualifications matter," said SKNIA President Robert V. Morris.
The consultation formed part of the ministry's Sustainability Month activities.
