The popular RIAI Simon Open Door campaign is back for its 22nd year from 13-19 April 2026.

Registered Architects are donating their time and expertise for free in return for a €125 donation to the Simon Communities of Ireland. Over the past 21 years, the RIAI Simon Open Door campaign has raised more than €1.5 million for the Simon Communities of Ireland.

If you are considering renovating, building, or retrofitting your home to be more energy-efficient, book a consultation with a Registered RIAI Architect. Every cent raised goes directly to the Simon Communities of Ireland.

Please feel free to spread the word about the RIAI Simon Open Door campaign by using the hashtag #RIAISimon.

The RIAI Simon Open Door initiative is a collaboration between the Simon Communities of Ireland and the RIAI.
