Changes for architects and engineers: leave for chamber duties and transitional building rules

The act introduces unpaid work leave for members of professional chambers of architects and engineers, compensated by the chambers. It clarifies rules for removing and suspending members. For investors, it provides an 18-month transitional period to use older technical building regulations.
Key points
Unpaid work leave: employers must release chamber members for self-government duties, with chambers compensating lost wages.
Faster removal and suspension: regional chamber chairs directly remove members or record their suspension upon receiving final disciplinary court rulings.
New suspension grounds: non-payment of dues for over 6 months or bans on technical functions result in membership suspension.
Suspension equals work ban: suspended members cannot perform independent technical functions in construction.
Second exam chance: sanctioned persons get an additional 3-6 month exam period, losing qualifications if they fail again.
18 months of old rules: investors may use pre-September 2026 technical regulations until March 20, 2028.
