  • The Place for NZ Architects to Learn, Earn and Stay Registered — Automatically2 April 2025

    Teulo is one of the go-to destinations for NZ-registered architects to complete their CPD, have it instantly tracked, and see it automatically update to their NZRAB profile. No spreadsheets. No stress. Just seamless, verified learning.

    Thanks to a new partnership between Teulo and the New Zealand Registered Architects Board (NZRAB), the days of manually reporting your CPD are over. With direct integration between Teulo’s learning platform and NZRAB’s registration system, architects can now complete CPD-accredited activities and have their learning outcomes instantly logged — saving time, reducing admin, and easing the pressure of Continuing Registration Competency Reviews.

    “Using the NZ Registered Architects Board’s CPD portal, architects can see, at a glance, whether they’re meeting the requirements for ongoing registration,” says NZRAB Chief Executive Judith Taylor. “This takes a lot of stress out of the process.”

    It’s the smartest, most efficient way to keep your registration up to date — and it’s happening at Teulo.

  • Proposed Increase in NZRAB fees3 February 2025

    NZRAB is awaiting approval from the Minister for Building and Construction on proposed changes to Registered Architects Rules 2006 Schedule 2 Charges for Services. If approved, the fee increase would come into effect from 1 July 2025.

    Consultation with architects and key stakeholders took place over 20 days from 7 October to 1 November 2024, through an online survey. Participants provided feedback about:

    — increasing fees for initial registration;
    — increasing fees for the Annual Certificate of Registration (ACR);
    — increasing fees for other services to ensure costs are recovered;
    — introducing new fees for services that we provide, but do not currently charge for.

    403 participants completed the online survey. 60% of submitters were registered architects and 35% were architectural graduates. Comments were respectful, considered, and showed deep care for the reputation of the profession. The results of the consultation can be seen here and comments provided by respondents can be seen here.

    The outcome of the proposed fee structure will be communicated to all of our stakeholders, including registered architects, in due course. Please keep an eye on the NZRAB website for the fees update.
