SECTION 55:10-15-6. Recklessness
Latest version.
- (a) The Architect or Landscape Architect is responsible for many technical and tactical judgments relating to construction materials, techniques and systems processes. His/her education, training and experience should enable him/her to make such determinations with confidence in a successful result.(b) The Board expects of its Licensees, Entities or individuals representing same, prudent and deliberate consideration in such decisions, made only after responsible and thorough investigation, research and when necessary, expert advice and assistance.(c) When the result anticipated in such decisions is not reasonably predictable, each Licensee, Entity or individual representing same, is expected to so advise the client, fully disclosing the implications involved.(d) When such decisions promote procedures, techniques, materials, systems, etc., unfamiliar to the planning and/or building team involved, the Licensee, Entity or individual representing same, is expected to exercise extraordinary care and attention to the process, insuring as best he/she can the result sought.(e) If, in the judgment of the Board, a Licensee, Entity or individual representing same, does not demonstrate concern, attention and involvement stated in this Section, and failure to do so brings jeopardy to the project, public or client, the Board may deem such neglect to be recklessness.(f) A Licensee or Entity shall not aid or abet any unlicensed party in practicing architecture or landscape architecture. Aiding and abetting shall include furnishing limited services in such a manner as to enable owners or unlicensed parties to evade the requirements of the Act or Rules in this Chapter. Incomplete plans shall be clearly marked as incomplete and not for construction if services are terminated during the contract.
