Governance of the architectural professions as a whole and the legislative framework determining inter alia architects’ scope of practice and registration requirements

1. In terms of the Council for the Built Environment Act, 43 of 2000 (hereinafter referred to as “the Built Environment Act”), a “registered person” means a person registered in terms of any of the professions’ Acts. These professions’ Acts are defined as the following:

1.1 The Architectural Profession Act, 2000.

1.2 The Project and Construction Management Professions Act, 2000.

1.3 The Engineering Profession Act, 2000.

1.4 The Landscape Architectural Profession Act, 2000.

1.5 The Property Valuers Profession Act, 2000.

1.6 The Quantity Surveying Profession Act, 2000.

2. The Council for the Built Environment thus to a certain extent oversees the architectural, engineering, landscape architectural, project & construction management, property valuators and quantity surveying professions. Each of these professions also have their own professional council and legislation governing them.
