Guideline Professional Fees issued in terms of Section 34(2)

Final Framework for guidelines professional fees in respect of architectural services rendered by the registered architectural professionals

10. Time-based fee

 

10.1 Where the scope of service is not clearly defined, or the service relates to small scale projects, or the service is of an unusual or specialised nature, a time-based fee is recommended to be used as the basis of remuneration. Where fees for architectural professional services are time based, such fees may be based on an hourly rate as set out in the guidelines professional fee board notice.

 

10.2 Where an architectural professional has undertaken work to change the agreed design and the fee is not covered by the agreed time-based fee, additional fees may be agreed upon.

 

10.3 Where the Architectural Professional is required to redo or alter work already completed in order to give effect to a cost saving, there shall be an additional fee for this work calculated on a time charge basis. This additional fee shall be agreed prior to the carrying out of the work.
