Agent, architect: what is the difference?

The agent is the person or firm who lodged the application for the applicant. That can be an architect, an architectural technologist, a planning consultant, an engineer or a surveyor. Council files do not say which.

In Ireland only people on the Register of Architects, kept by the RIAI, may call themselves an architect. You can check any individual there.
