The GAI GuildMark scheme offers architects and specifiers a unique assurance of quality and professionalism.

By working with GuildMark accredited architectural ironmongery companies, architects can be confident that the high professional standards which they apply to their own work is matched by their specification partners.

The scheme has been developed in close collaboration with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) to mirror its own professional requirements. To become a member of the GuildMark scheme companies must:

  • Be a member of the GAI
  • Have at least one fully qualified RegAI on its payroll
  • Demonstrate appropriate QA systems
  • Hold full professional indemnity insurance
  • Fully comply with a special GuildMark Code of Practice.

All partners in today’s construction industry are required to minimise and control their technical and commercial risk, and to maximise their professional capabilities.

The GuildMark criteria underline the critical role of the RegAI standard in assuring this within the architectural ironmongery sector. As well as being fully qualified GAI Diploma holders, RegAI's carry out a full programme of certified CPD training, ensuring that their knowledge is continually renewed and absolutely up to date.
