Engineering News reports that the SA Council for the Project and Construction Management Professions (SACPCMP) has deregistered 1,983 of its 14,000 members for continuing professional development (CPD) non-compliance.
As of 31 March, those former members were no longer be allowed to legally practice in the built environment sector within any professional designation under the jurisdiction of the SACPCMP. The regulator said that despite multiple remedial and exemption programmes that were presented over almost five years, it had now been forced to deregister non-compliant registered persons. “As a regulatory authority, it is our mandate to ensure that the construction industry is sufficiently supported by professionals who are competent, skilled and experienced and in good standing with the statutory requirements of the law,” said SACPCMP registrar Butcher Matutle. Under the Project and Construction Management Professions Act, registered persons are required to maintain their competence annually by undertaking CPD to ensure that the construction industry is managed by professionals who are equipped with relevant and up-to-date knowledge. This was vital to maintaining a safe built environment, Matutle pointed out.
