ARCHITECT'S IDEAS & ADVICE ON A TO Z OF HOUSE CONSTRUCTION IN INDIA

The Council of Architecture (COA) an autonomous Statutory Body of the Government of India, has been constituted by the Government of India under the provisions of the Architects Act, 1972, enacted by the Parliament of India, which came into force on 1st September, 1972.
The Council of Architecture is charged with the responsibility of enforcing the Act throughout the country, including Registration of Architects, regulating the Architectural Profession and Architectural Education throughout India, besides maintaining the Register of Architects. For this purpose the Council of Architecture has framed Regulations as provided for in the Architect's Act, with the approval of the Government of India.

The Council of Architecture has prescribed the Conditions of Engagement and Scale of Charges which stipulate the parameters within which the Architect is required to function, his responsibilities, the Scope of Work and the minimum scale of professional charges in order to make the Client fully aware of the duties and services that he may expect from an Architect.

Here, I have briefly summarized the Council of Architecture regulations and guidelines in simple language, without the legal lingo, so as to enable you to understand easily all that is expected from an Architect – his educational qualifications, his Services, his Responsibilities, his Professional Fees, the Schedule of payment, his Professional Liability and Architectural Competitions.
