Architectural Profession Act, 2000 (Act No. 44 of 2000)Board NoticesFramework for Guidelines Professional Fees, 20203. Principles |
| (a) | The guideline professional fees are based on cost of works as per fee survey undertaken by the profession. As per the Policy Framework on determination and review of guideline professional fees for built environment professions, the guideline professional fees take into consideration reasonable rate of return on investment, intellectual capital, effort and, most importantly, risk. |
| (b) | The guideline professional fees tables have been split into 3 complexities to align with the Identification of Work. |
| (c) | The guideline professionals fee tables represent the fees for a full service by a hypothetical average sized architectural practice, practising in a responsible and sustainable manner. This means that the tables are not meant to fit any one specific project perfectly and in almost all cases should be adjusted up or down in relation to specific project conditions. |
| (d) | The guideline professional fees are expressly not suitable for use in a basket of professional fees calculation, where all professional fees are reduced to fit a required overall fee basket. Reduction of fees in this manner, without due regard to a concurrent agreed reduction of service, is strongly discouraged because the quality of service will be impacted negatively to the detriment of a client. |
