Professionalism is not automatic with qualification. It is decided by the manner in which you carry out your professional life - the conduct and qualities that you bring to your role. In architecture, it is
founded on the principles of honesty, integrity and competence, and a concern for the environment and others.



As a trusted expert, it is essential that you gain respect for your skills and knowledge while maintaining veracity and transparency in your relationships and dealings with clients, end users, design and construction professionals and the wider public.
