Joining ECAN
Individual Members
You join ECAN by an On-line application and payment method, using the links on the left for "Full Member" or "Affiliate Member" membership. Before doing so you need to check the membership criteria below to apply for the correct membership.
Sole practitioner Groups
Those formed and operating within an RIAS local chapter area just like ECAN itself, may purchase from ECAN web pages on this site to advertise their own events to their own members. Please contact us by telephone - 0131 467 7039 or by email at - info@ecan-architects.com.
Membership Criteria - Full
You must be :-1) - A sole-practitioner
2) - A member of the RIAS within the EAA Chapter area.
3) - Registered with ARB
At the time of your application, you will be required to pay an initial joining fee of £25.00, plus an annual membership of £55.00, renewable on the 1st. January of each year, or a pro-rata monthly rate depending on the date you join. You will also be required to complete an on-line application. On this form you will need to state whether you have a current reciprocal agreement in place or be part of ECAN's approved reciprocal agreement.
