Access to a comprehensive library of standards is an essential resource for architectural practice, providing guidance on design, construction, safety and office management. Architects are expected to have a working knowledge of, and should have ready access to, key standards which are regularly referenced or which significantly impact on their work. Lack of access to these standards can expose architects to significant legal, technical, and professional risk.
