The state division that oversees professional boards, with tools to apply, verify professionals and review disciplinary records.
The Tennessee Division of Regulatory Boards oversees professional boards and programs across many fields. Its website explains that it handles applications, lets people verify professionals, maintains disciplinary records and offers notification sign-ups. Owners in Nashville can use it to check the standing of professionals they are considering for a project, which is a smart step before signing a contract.
We are an independent firm and are not part of the state. We encourage owners to check any professional they plan to hire, whether an architect, an engineer or a contractor, and to ask what each person will do on the project. We list the consultants we expect to involve in each project, so you know who is responsible for what and can look up the people involved.
