APPENDIX “G.”
New Zealand Institute of Architects (Incorporated).
CODE OF ETHICS.

The following are the “Fundamental Rules of the Institute” referred to in Regulation Nos. 27 to 30 inclusive and shall be and are binding upon every member of the Institute.

The enumeration of the rights, duties, obligations or responsibilities herein particularly set out shall not be construed as a limitation of others analogous or equally applicable although not specially mentioned.

1. An architect shall act in all professional matters strictly in a fiduciary manner with regard to any clients whom he may advise, and his charges to such clients shall constitute his only remuneration in connection with such work.

2. No member shall allow any person, not being a Member of the Institute, to practise in his name as a Registered Architect nor shall he admit any person into partnership who is not a fully-qualified Member of the Institute. Provided always that this shall not prevent a member from entering into partnership with a member of any kindred society or profession approved as such by the Council of the Institute.

3. No member shall, directly or indirectly, allow or agree to allow of participation by any other person (not being the member’s partner) in the profits of his (the member’s) professional work.

4. No member shall, when having the power to prevent it, allow any student, assistant or draftsman to perform any of the duties of a registered architect, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever opposed to the Regulations of the Institute.

5. No member shall compete in amount of commission or offer to work for less than another in order to secure work from any person or body, neither shall he directly nor indirectly, either personally or by means of an agent or otherwise, endeavour to supplant another architect who has previously been employed by such person or body or after definite steps have been taken to employ such other architect, nor shall he pay by commission or otherwise any person who may introduce clients to him.

6. No member shall accept, or agree to accept, from any person or persons in connection with any work upon which he (the member) shall be employed, any commission, bonus, rebate or gratuity other than the usual fees laid down in the “Scale of Charges” as more particularly referred to in Appendix “K,” nor shall any member make any donation or subscription out of his fees to any person, company or institution employing him, by way of rebate of such fees.

7. He shall not accept any trade commissions, discounts, allowances, or any direct profit in connection with any work which he is engaged to design or superintend, or with any professional business which may be entrusted to him.

8. He shall not, whilst acting in a professional capacity, be at the same time, without disclosing the fact in writing to his clients, a director or member of, or a shareholder in, or act as an agent for any contracting or manufacturing company, or insurance company, or firm, or business, with which he may have occasion to deal on behalf of his clients, or have any financial interests in any such business.

9. He shall not receive, directly or indirectly, any royalty, gratuity, or commission, on any patented or protected article or process used on work which he is carrying out for his clients, unless and until such royalty, gratuity or commission, has been authorised in writing by those clients.

10. He shall not be the medium of payments made on his clients’ behalf to any contractor or business firm (unless specially as requested by his clients) but shall only issue certificates or recommendations for payment by his clients.

11. He shall not guarantee any estimate or contract by personal bond, nor shall he be a party to any building contract except as owner.

12. He shall not perform professional work in an honorary capacity, except for charitable purposes.

13. He shall not criticise in public print the professional conduct or work of another architect except over his own name in full.

14. He shall not furnish designs in any competition publicly promoted for any work, except under the “Regulations for Architectural Competitions” approved by the Institute, which Regulations are fully set out in Appendix “L”; nor shall he attempt in any way, except as a bona fide competitor, to secure work for which a competition is in progress.

15. No member shall submit to a person or body, sketches, designs, plans, estimates or proposals for buildings or alterations or additions to buildings without first having received proper authority and instructions to do so from the said person or body.

16. It is reasonable that an architect should sign his buildings in an unostentatious manner, similar to that adopted by sculptors and other artists.

17. It is undesirable that architects should exhibit their names on boards or hoardings in front of buildings in course of erection or advertise in the public press or otherwise.

18. Any alleged breach of these Regulations, or any alleged professional misconduct by any architect which may be brought before the Council, properly vouched for and supported by sufficient evidence, shall be investigated, and if proved to the satisfaction of the Council, shall be dealt with according to the Regulations.

19. Any breach of the Code of Ethics within the knowledge of any member should be forthwith reported by him to the Council.
