Background and Policy Context

The CBE 2012 -16 Strategic Plan is a product of the Strategic Review Session held by the CBE Council in December 2012.

The CBE Strategic Plan was informed by the following key policy documents:

CBE’s mandate derived from the CBE Act of 2000, key national and sectoral priorities including inputs from key stakeholders such as Professional CouncilsUpdated Government’s medium term strategic framework document 2012 State of the Nation Address, Outline of the Minister’s key prioritiesThe 2012 National Budget and appropriation for 2012/13

This review resulted in realignment of CBE activities to make the organisation and the built environment (BE) industry more responsive to developmental priorities such as skills development and job creation.

Income statement reviewAbove analysis presents a reconciliation of the budget CBE against actual performance for the year 2013

RevenueGrant income: The variance is mainly due to seconded employee’s reimbursement which was set-off against matching expenditureLevies: The CBE recovered more levies than originally estimated which resulted in over recoveryOther receipts: Constitute unplanned revenue resulting from insurance claims.Interest: The CBE over recovered on the interest earned due to stable interest rates

Expenditure Employee Cost: The variance is mainly due to seconded employee’s reimbursement which was set-off against employee cost. Good and services: The variance is due to some project deferred to current year as highlighted above on Programme 2, 3, 4Depreciation and amortisation: The CBE uses a cash based budgeting method which excludes non cash itemsFixed assets additions: The fixed assets variance is mainly due price variations on planned assets

Report on Activities of Professional Councils

Page 34: PRESENTATION TO THE PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC WORKS CBE ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13  22 October 2013

For a better built environment34

Regulatory mandate of CBEThe CBE locates itself within the Developmental State paradigm and seeks to ensure that Built Environment Professionals through Professional Councils support the growth and development objectives of government as captured in its various planning documents, e.g. Medium Term Strategic Framework and National Development Plan.

The regulatory approach of the CBE is to steer and guide the activities and performance of the Professional Councils to ensure that they contribute meaningfully to Government’s policy priorities such as job creation, economic growth, skills development and reduction in green house gas emissions.

The Conduct of the Professional Councils and Built Environment Professions should therefore be ultimately assessed against whether or not they contribute in meeting these policy priorities.

In addition Built Environment Professional Councils must be assessed on their ability to effectively discharge the mandate that has been delegated to them by the State through the Acts of Parliament

Page 35: PRESENTATION TO THE PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC WORKS CBE ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13  22 October 2013

For a better built environment35

Governance of Professional Councils

Recognition of Voluntary Associations (VA’s): In the year under review no new Voluntary Associations were recognised but recognition of one VA was withdrawn by SACQSP. VA’s are important knowledge and skills custodians and their growth should be nurtured through formal recognition.

Code of Conduct: A Code of Conduct policy framework was developed by the CBE in 2009 and has been operational since then. All BE Councils have developed Codes of Conduct which govern ethical conduct within the Professions. Failure to adhere to ethical codes of conduct results in disciplinary action

Disciplinary Cases: Latest statistics show a decreasing trend in the number of disciplinary cases by 50% between 2008 and 2012 from 257 to 120. CBE however remains worried because firstly the numbers are still high, secondly a significant number of cases relate to professional incompetence.

Public ProtectionAppeal body and procedures: The CBE is an Appeal Body within the industry as per section 4(m) of the CBE Act. As reported earlier there are challenges within this function both at CBE level and at Professional Councils level. CBE developed a best practice model for Appeals to be implemented in 2013/2014 financial year, Panel of Chairpersons finalised and the chairperson are currently addressing the case backlog.

IDoW:The CBE has completed and submitted to the Competition Commission applications for exemption from the prescripts of the Competition Act the IDoW policies of the following 5 professions; SACAP, SACLAP, SACPCPM, SACQSP and SACPVP. The ECSA IDoW policy is taking longer to complete because of the diversity of the engineering, however, sufficient progress has been made towards its completion which will be finalised in the 2013/14 financial year. The completion of the IDoW process will herald a new era for South African built environment. However, the granting of exemption by the Competition Commission is the first milestone; the enforcement of the policy and resulting PC specific regulations is one of the greatest challenges that will face the BEPs system of regulation.

3. Sustainable and Integrated Development

• Guideline on Professional Fees:Professional Councils continue to publish their guideline fees as stipulated by their Acts. However, it should be noted that the Competition Commission raised concerns regarding the publication of the guideline of fees and standardization of fees. The Competition Commission advised that the practice of publishing professional fees has a potential of encouraging horizontal price collusion in terms of Section 4 of the Competition Act and therefore can be deemed as anti-competitive.

• The CBE together with the Professional Councils is working with the Competition Commission to apply for exemption of its rules in terms of Schedule 1 of the Competition Act as it has possibility of being anti-competitive. The applications will be submitted to Competition Commission in 2013/2014 financial year (submitted in September 2013 and Competition will engage with relevant stakeholders).

• Recognition of new Professions: CBE completed a policy position paper that was approved by Council and submitted to the Minister of Public Works for consideration. The CBE is currently developing a policy framework that will guide the recognition and incorporation of built environment professions that fall outside the ambit of the CBE Act (such as Town Planners and Land Surveyors because they operate within the built environment)

4. Human Resource DevelopmentThe CBE is given a mandate to promote ongoing human resource development within the built environment (with a specific focus on issues of skills development and education related matters). To this end various policy interventions were made in the year under review.

Key policy developments during the 2012/13 financial year included:Development of draft registration regulations to regulate the registration function.A policy position paper on continuous professional development and how this function could be used as a lever for the industry to contribute to development objectives of the State such as skills development

Accreditation: There were 23 unaccredited programmes in 2009, 10 in 2009 and there are 6 remaining unaccredited, in 2012.

The CBE developed an accreditation time-table which is used as a basis for monitoring accreditation of programmes within the built environment

Professional RegistrationsRegistration: There was a total of 10218 (22%) growth in new registrations of both candidates and professionals between 2008 and 2012. Registration: Candidate registration grew by 16% between 2009 & 2012. Registration: Racial composition of candidates is slightly encouraging. Statistics show that 56,5% of registered candidates are black and only 46,5% are white – challenge is slow progress to convert to registered professionals However: these statistics hide a concerning picture in professions such as Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Property Valuers which still fell below 50% mark in black candidates registration.Consolidated Gender Statistics show: 13,67% Female and 86,33% Male.

Picture of Registered Professionals is cause for concern : Quarter 4 of 2012/13 shows:

81,5% White, 10,8% African; 5% Indian/Asian; 3% Coloured.

Racial profile of registered professionals remains the most critical area of major concern.
