An Architect of Record (AOR) is the architecture firm that designs and prepares the construction documents for a new building project. If an architecture firm performed services for a project in civic architecture, the architecture firm’s name will appear on building permits and other public records for those specific commercial projects as the Architect of Record.
The licensed architect’s professional seal is affixed to the project construction documents and are directly and professionally responsible for the total design of the project for the client. The Public Architect of Record also takes on civil liability for plans, specifications, and contract documents they have signed/sealed.
