The South African Council for the Architectural Profession (SACAP)
has, in terms of the requirements of Section 27(1) of the
Architectural Profession Act, 2000 (Act 44 of 2000), made the
rules set out in Board Notice 28 of 2004.
Registered persons and architectural practices are subject to
the disciplinary supervision of the SACAP. It is an overriding
obligation under the rules that in carrying out professional
work, a registered person is expected to act competently and
with integrity.
It is therefore expected that a registered person shall refrain
from conduct, which would in the opinion of the SACAP be
detrimental to the esteem, dignity and/or professionalism of the
architectural profession, or would tend to bring the
architectural profession into disrepute.
The South African Council for the Architectural Profession (SACAP)
is the regulatory authority for the architectural profession.
SACAP is responsible for: Providing for registration of persons
within the architectural profession; Protecting the public
against unprofessional conduct by registered persons; Guiding
the profession and promoting the standards of education and
training in the Built Environment.
