What is the AABC?

The architects listed on this Register have all been assessed as to their individual knowledge and experience in conservation work by their peers in a team which also included a knowledgeable non-architect to ensure an element of public participation in the assessment process.

In the selection of an architect for a particular commission it is always important to have met the individual, know more about their experiences with similar projects, resources, personal qualities, managerial skills and reputation. It is normal for them to provide details of their practice and projects or assignments carried out and for a potential client to see the latter and make appropriate enquiries.

This register is compiled under the authority of ACCON Ltd trading as the AABC Register; Registrar: No. 5 The Parsonage, Manchester, M3 2HS

The Board of ACCON Ltd is unable to take responsibility for the outcome of any particular appointment.

A - Architect knowledgeable and experienced in the conservation of historic buildings, engaged in executive direction of projects of conservation work.

CA - Architect knowledgeable and experienced in the conservation of historic buildings currently acting in a consultant, educational or advisory capacity.
