CAN I LOOK UP AIA MEMBERS BY NAME?
The new Architect Finder is not a membership directory. It is a directory of Firms run by licensed architects who are AIA members. Contact information for individual AIA members may be found with the AIA Member Lookup Tool in the Members Center (login required).

WHERE DOES THE FIRM DATA COME FROM?
The new Architect Finder is driven by data held completely within the AIA. Members no longer need to contact any third party for updates or to create data records. Local AIA Chapter no longer need to "tag" your firm in another database.

I'VE BEEN A MEMBER FOR 25 YEARS! WHY ISN'T MY FIRM LISTED?

Try using a broader search: don't select any building or service type criteria, and use only a single keyword from your firm name.
We may be missing a crucial data element for your firm. We were probably unable to identify a single individual as Firm Profile Administrator for your firm, which is required to ensure accurate data. If you are a Firm Principal, use the "FIRM (Login)" link above to see if your firm record is available for editing. Once you supply the name of Profile Administrator, your record will be updated as we work through the pending changes, and should appear on the site within a few days. While you are editing your firm data, be sure to complete the "Profile II" section to provide fuller data that will let your listing show up in more public searches.

MY SEARCHES RETURN NO RESULTS, BUT I KNOW THERE ARE FIRMS THAT SHOULD SHOW UP.
The Architect Finder contains new data. Some service and building type data was retained from the old Architect Finder whenever possible, but many firms have not yet updated their profiles with these data elements. Try again using a broader search, for instance, just ZIP code or just a single keyword from the Firm Name.

THE DATA FOR MY FIRM IS WRONG. HOW CAN I CORRECT IT?
Firm Principals and designated Profile Administrator contacts are able to edit firm profiles. Try logging in using the "FIRM (Login)" link above and see if you can edit your firm's profile.

I CANNOT EDIT ANY FIRM PROFILE; I AM "NOT A VALID ARCHITECT FINDER USER".

You may already be logged in to the AIA.Org web site as an individual who isn't authorized to edit a Firm Profile. For instance, you may be an Associate AIA member, or a Contract Documents customer. At this time, only Firm Principals or designated Profile Administrator contacts are able to edit firm profiles. Use the "Member Logout" link at the top of the AIA.Org web site, or use the "FIRM (Login)" link above and try logging in again with the credentials of a Firm Principal.
We may need to correct our data! Please contact InfoCentral (infocentral@aia.org) and let them know you are a Firm Principal who cannot edit their Architect Finder firm profile. Be sure to include all the current data for your firm.

MY ENTIRE FIRM NAME IS NOT DISPLAYED; WHY IS DATA LOST OR CUT OFF?
Some of our data fields may not be long enough to accommodate the data you want to enter. For instance, Company Name is limited to 80 characters. Unfortunately, there is no immediate remedy for this; you must provide a shorter name.

MY FIRM'S LOGO IMAGE IS MISSING; I CANNOT ATTACH MY FIRM LOGO TO MY LISTING.

File format - make sure you are using a JPG, GIF, or PNG image file for your logo.
File size - make sure your image file is not too large; logo files should be under 250 KB.
