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

15. Project cost-based fees for standard and partial services

 

(a) The architectural professional shall refer to the annexure on the guidelines professional fees to determine whether a project is of low, medium or high complexity. Different fee scales apply to different complexities of a project.

 

(b) These are derived from bracketed project values, and are determined annually by SACAP and published in the Government Gazette.

 

(c) For a partial service, assuming the fee is a project cost-based fee, the percentage of the fee for each complete work stage to be performed is as set out under clause 21. Where the work stage is only partially completed, the percentage of the fee shall be agreed between the parties.

 

(d) The budget for fee purposes excludes VAT, contingencies, fees for other consultants and specialist as well as the provision for escalation.
