Things change. Especially for architectural firms and practices. Offices move, firm names change, area codes get swapped, new areas of expertise get added and more.

Because of this, it's a good idea to occasionally review your listing in the AIA Architect Finder. If you or your firm belongs to AIA and you either are not listed in the directory or wish to modify an existing listing, here are steps you can follow.

Update a Current Listing
If your firm is already listed in the AIA.ORG directory, but you wish to update the listing, follow the instructions at Reed Construction Data for "Listed But Not Current."

AIA.ORG receives updated data from Reed Construction Data every Friday, so your new listing should show up within 7-10 days on AIA's site. Data you submit to Reed by 11 p.m. EST Wednesday is included in the Friday data feed.

Create a New Listing
If you do NOT see your firm listed in the directory at www.aia.org/consumer, there are two steps that need to be completed:
   1. Search for your firm in Reed Construction Data's Design Registry.
      If you don't find your firm, follow the instructions under the "Get Listed" link at Reed Construction's Web site.
      If you DO have a data record in the Reed database--even one that is out-of-date--complete step two, below.
          It is important not to contact your local chapter in Step 2 unless your firm already has a record in the Reed Design Registry.
   2. Contact your local AIA chapter and ask it to "tag" your firm as an AIA member firm in the ProFile database. When your chapter tags your record as "belonging" to them, Reed sends it to AIA with the next weekly update. Remember, if you complete Step 1 above, but your chapter does not tag your record, then your record will only show up in the ProFile Directory and won't be sent to the Architect Finder.
