Deimos Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I'm looking for an architect (nothing major and somebody local). Looking through my Yellow Pages there are plenty nearby. However, some seem to have the letters DPLG after their company names (or in the description of what they do). What does this mean and is it something important ?Basically I am just looking to get an architect to advise on the need for planning permission (and confirm what he advises in writing), plus a few things like any necessary roof strengthening, ideas, etc. Basically to pay him for a few hours work rather than undertake a project. I've done this before and local architects seem happy to turn-up, explain things and be paid for a few hours.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tj Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 HiTo put you out of your misery :)It stands for "Diplome par le Gouvernement" there are 3 diplomas for architecture in france and you must hold one of them in order to legally practice, DPLG is one of them.

Deimos Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 I've already called one who does not have the DPLG. However, I assume as he is in Yellow Pages and listed in L'Ordre des Architects he must have some decent qualification (one of the three) so he will hopefully be OK.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
