Annual Update of Professional Fees Guideline
Annual Update of the Professional Fees Guideline issued in terms of Section 34(2) of the Architectural Profession Act no 44 of 2000.
The Council for the Built Environment (CBE), which is the statutory body established in terms of section 2 of the Council for the Built Environment Act, 2000 relating to the Built Environment Professions, requires the South African Council for the Architectural Profession (SACAP) to determine and publish an annual update of the Professional Fees Guideline.
The SACAP Professional Fees Committee meet four times per year to review the annual fees and the board notice is gazetted in December and is applicable from 1 January annually.
The Professional Fees Guideline comprised of either PROJECT COST BASED FEES or TIME BASED FEES
PROJECT COST BASED FEE
The project fee consists of two parts: the base plus the percentage.
The one is not reflected in the other, and the two figures should be added.
A hypothetical fee account would thus read: R 20 000 base fee plus 7% of R 1 000 000 = R20 000 plus R 70 000 equals R 90 000 total fee
