Identification of Work Framework
The Identification of Work Framework provides categories of work within which registered persons are permitted to operate. This enables the protection of the public in their dealing with registered persons; the maintenance of the integrity and the enhancement of the architectural profession and the improvement of standards of services rendered.
The proposed framework was gazetted in February 2007 for comment from registered persons and members of the public by 9 March 2007. A total of 221 responses were captured. Relevant changes were made to the documents and they were resubmitted to the Council for the Built Environment (CBE) in June 2007.
SACAP’s Identification of Work Framework is currently with the CBE. In late 2007, the CBE introduced a new framework to all the Built Environment Councils. The process going forward is to await the CBE comment on the SACAP submission in light of the new framework. The CBE will forward the document to the Competition Commission to ensure compliance before the Identification of Work Framework will be gazetted.
Once the Identification of Work Framework has been legislated, only registered persons will be permitted to undertake architectural services within the ambit of the framework. Registered persons performing work in categories other than those in which has been identified for them will be subjected to disciplinary action by the Council.
Process followed
The Identification of Work Framework was generated by a number of SACAP appointed sub-committees that consulted widely with all stakeholders to ensure that everyone was given an opportunity to participate in the process. The key stakeholders include the recognised Voluntary Associations within the Architectural Profession, namely the South African Institute for Architects (SAIA), the South African Institute for Architectural Technologists (SAIAT) and the South African Institute of Building Designers (SAIBD).
The process has included the development of a matrix, submissions to the CBE and the Competition Commission, public participation, and review thereof.
Reservation of Work
The Reservation of Work document (carried over from the Architects’ Act 1970, No. 35 of 1970) is application until the Identification of Work Framework has been legislated.
Architectural Compliance Certificate
The certificate must be completed in duplicate. Once copy must be included when submitting plans to the Local Authorities. The registered persons must retain the other copy of the certificate.
