[No. 77

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

  2. It is desirable that architects should exhibit their names on a board in front of a building being erected under their supervision, provided it is done in an unostentatious manner and the lettering is of reasonable height. An architect should not advertise in the public press or otherwise except by means of a professional card as defined herein :— A card is defined as an advertisement of the name, designation, and address of the advertiser without amplification, or, in the case of an announcement of change of address or personnel of a practitioner or firm, the plain statement of the fact for the publication of which the announcement purports to be made. Cards permitted by this rule when appearing in newspapers shall not exceed one column in width and two inches in depth.

  3. If an architect supplies quantities he shall not secure payment for such work from the building contractor.

  4. When engaging consultants no member shall enter into any agreement with such consultants whereby the services performed by such consultants are to be paid from moneys payable through the building contractor.

  5. Any alleged breach of these regulations, or any alleged professional misconduct by an architect which may be brought before the Council or the Executive Committee, 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.

  6. Any breach of the Code of Ethics within the knowledge of any member shall be forthwith reported by him to the Council or to the Executive Committee.
