What to check when hiring architectural technologists in South Africa
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- In South Africa, electrical work must be signed off with a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) issued by a registered person. Insist on the CoC, and for plumbing look for PIRB or IOPSA registration, because without a valid CoC a future home-insurance claim can be refused.
- For a new home or major structural build, the builder must be registered with the NHBRC (National Home Builders Registration Council) and the home enrolled before construction. Check this before you pay a deposit.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
- Get a written, itemised quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.
How to judge an architectural technologist
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each tradesperson’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Architectural work must be done by a person registered with SACAP (South African Council for the Architectural Profession, sacapsa.com): architectural technologists and draughtspersons have their own SACAP registration categories, each with a defined scope of work; verify the category and that your project falls within it.
- Confirm they'll prepare and submit building plans for municipal approval, and agree their professional indemnity insurance and fee basis up front.
- Larger or more complex buildings may legally require a registered architect rather than a technologist: confirm the category suits your project's scope.
- Ask to see comparable completed projects and references.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Not registered with SACAP, or working beyond the scope of their registration category.
- Takes on a building that legally needs a registered architect.
- An open-ended fee with no defined scope, or no professional indemnity insurance.
- No portfolio of comparable completed work.
Questions to ask before you hire
- What is your SACAP registration category, and does my project fall within its scope?
- Will you prepare and submit plans for municipal approval?
- What does your fee cover, and do you hold professional indemnity insurance?
- Can I see comparable projects and references?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy architectural technologist?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. An architectural technologist backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend architectural technologists for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Architectural technologists are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring an architectural technologist?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the architectural technologist, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
