The OAI, the Ordre des Architectes et Ingénieurs-Conseil, unites nearly 1000 professionals from the sector. It will now get an updated legal basis. The bill was presented by Lex Delles, Minister for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises on Tuesday.
Two new professional categories will be included under the OAI umbrella: interior architects and surveyors. A minimum of 40 hour training over four years for all professions represented by the OAI will also be stipulated in the law.
The statute of optional OAI member is removed - meaning that the sector will be more strongly regulated and submitted to checks.
