SACAP and SACPCMP Clarify Routes to Registration for Building Inspectors & Building Control Officers in South Africa

Gauteng, November 2021: In this joint statement, the South African Council for the Architectural Profession (SACAP) and the South African Council for the Project and Construction Management Professions (SACPCMP) would like to clarify any confusion caused as a result of the registration categories/disciplines developed recently by the
two councils.

​SACAP and the SACPCMP have come together to release a joint statement that details the registration categories, ensuring that Built Environment professionals have a clear understanding of the roles, requirements and routes to registration for each discipline.

Prior to the development of the registration categories, months of industry-related research pertaining to Building Inspectors’ scope of work and responsibilities was undertaken by the National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC). In December 2019, the SACPCMP officially launched two registration categories for Building Inspectors and these were carefully developed by an SACPCMP-led task team comprising of representatives of Government, Academia and the Public Sector.

Coinciding with the launch and the finalisation of Building Inspector registration, SACAP also developed and launched the registration of Building Inspectors and Building Control Officers (BCOs).


This caused confusion within the industry which further developed during a set of roadshows that were undertaken across the country where prospective Building Inspector applicants noted their uncertainty in terms of where to register, and with which professional body.

In order to clarify the confusion, a meeting chaired by the Council for the Built Environment (CBE) resolved that SACAP would register only Building Control Officers, while the SACPCMP would register Building Inspectors under the categories mentioned herein.


Who should Register as a Building Control Officer?
