About
The Guild of Architectural Ironmongers (GAI) aim to promote the highest standards of education, technical excellence and professionalism in our sector, and promote these standards to the wider construction industry and its clients. The Guild's work is built on three pillars:
Education: GAI offer a comprehensive programme of courses and qualifications, leading to diploma qualification and ultimately to RegAI, the benchmark for the demonstration of professional architectural ironmongery competence.
Technical standards: GAI help develop the standards that affect the products its members make, specify and use. They also provide support and advice to the sector on applying these standards.
Community activities: GAI brings people together through its extensive Community Hub network, and its programme of events and awards.
