804 IAC 1.1-4-2 Competence; impairment

Sec. 2. (a) In practicing architecture or landscape architecture, a registrant shall act with reasonable care and competence, and shall apply the technical knowledge and skill which is ordinarily applied by registrants of good standing, practicing in the same locality. (b) In designing a project, a registrant shall take into account all applicable state and municipal building laws and regulations. While a registrant may rely on the advice of other professionals (e.g. attorneys, engineers, and other qualified persons) as to the intent and meaning of such regulations, once having obtained such advice, a registrant shall not knowingly design a project in violation of such laws and regulations. (c) A registrant shall undertake to perform professional services only when he, together with those whom the architect or landscape architect may engage as consultants, is qualified by education, training, and experience in the specific technical areas involved. (d) No person shall be permitted to practice architecture or landscape architecture if, in the board's judgment, such person's professional competence is substantially impaired by physical or mental disabilities.
