THE ASAQS "CENTENARY PUBLICATION" NOW AVAILABLE !!
| |
| We are pleased to announce that the long awaited ASAQS Centenary Publication has been completed and the first few complimentary copies were delivered to the ASAQS offices shortly before the Christmas break. This was a very exciting moment as this represented the culmination of a very long and painstaking process – but it has certainly been worth all the effort !! We are very pleased with the final result and we invite you to get your copies to share in the joy and excitement of the publication !!
We have taken receipt of further copies from the printers during the course of the last week and these are now for sale to members and non-members alike. The cost of these publications are as follows: - R300,00 (inclusive of VAT) per copy – across the ASAQS counter
- R350,00 (Inclusive of VAT and postage) per copy – if posted as counter to counter parcel (normal post)
The balance of the order is expected to be delivered within the next few days. Should members wish to have the publications posted by courier, then the additional postage costs for speedier services will be for the account of the purchaser. These publications will also be made available (in limited numbers due to practical restrictions) for sale to the members during the Forthcoming Presidential Tour (refer article above).
We wish to point out that the ASAQS office is currently making final arrangements to streamline the purchase and dispatch of these publications to the members. The entire process in terms of placing the orders, the payment thereof and ultimately the dispatch of the publications to the members will be online and web-based to ensure that any inconvenience is kept to an absolute minimum.

ELECTION OF BOARD 2010/2012
| |
| Members are reminded of the need to elect a new ASAQS Board next year (for the period 2010/2012), details of which will be ratified at the forthcoming ASAQS Board meeting scheduled for 11/12 March 2010. To view the relevant programme for the way forward in this regard, please click here. Please be advised that the submission of nominations are restricted to all PMAQS and MAQS members.
I would also point out that the requirements for the election of the 2010/2012 Board will be based on the current ASAQS Constitution and By-Laws, in spite of the fact that amendments are currently being considered and prepared for the future. Unfortunately these will not be finalised in time for the election of the 2010/2012 Board, so the current regulations will still be applicable for these elections..
The election requirements and process is clearly spelt out in the current ASAQS Constitution and By-Laws which is done in three main stages: - Stage 1 : Election of Chapter Representatives (x 10 members)
- Stage 2 : Election of other Board members (x 6 members)
- Stage 3 : Co-Option of members (maximum x 2 members)
I wish to advise and place on record that the invitations to submit nominations for Stage 1 have already been posted out and nominations were due in by no later than Wednesday 20 January 2010. I would appeal that any outstanding nominations be submitted at earliest convenience.
Please give this your considered attention and also give some thought to bringing in suitable new candidates for the Board. All the current Board members also need to consider their own and personal availability for the next two-year term. I would be grateful if those that will not be available to serve on the next Board to please advise me, so we can get an idea what we will be dealing with here. | |

EXPERIENCING CUG PROBLEMS?
| |
| We only recently discovered that MWeb moved the site to a new server without notifying us. This has resulted in total chaos as updates that were done on the old server were not copied to the new server. You may have seen older versions of pages on the website with links that either opened incorrect (outdated) documents or did not resolve at all.
What compounded our frustration is that a lot of members were, or still are, unable to enter the CUG. This is mostly due to the fact that new members were added on the old server and an outdated version of the CUG database was ported to the new server by MWeb.
If you experience problems entering the CUG please contact the ASAQS offices on 011-3154140 so that they can check whether you are in fact registered in the new CUG database.
The ASAQS wishes to apologise to the members for any inconvenience caused as a result of these IT problems and we thank you for your patience whilst the problems were being attended to. We trust that the situation will be back to normal in due course !! | |
| |
REVISED TARIFF OF QS PROFESSIONAL SERVICES 2010
| |
| Members are advised that the updated Recommended Tariff of QS Professional Fees 2010 was submitted to the Government printers for gazetting on Friday 4 December 2009 and will come into effect on 01 January 2010. Amendments to the 2009 Tariff of Professional Fees published in Government Gazette No 32753 of 4 December 2009 as Board Notice 163 of 2009 are included therein.
Copies of the Recommended Tariff of QS Professional Fees 2010 are available on the ASAQS (www.asaqs.co.za) and SACQSP (www.sacqsp.org.za) websites. We would strongly urge members to familiarise themselves with this new and updated document and to use this as the basis for all new appointments on projects in the New Year.
The new tariff is available from the website of the SACQSP or can also be downloaded from the CUG. | |
| |
SALARY SURVEY 2009
| |
| We are happy to announce that the draft report of the "ASAQS Salary Survey 2009" has been made available to the offices of the ASAQS for final review and approval. The draft report is currently being reviewed by the responsible persons on the ASAQS Fees Committee and the final copy will be completed within the next few days and made available to all practices that contributed information to the ASAQS.
We look forward to the imminent release of this report with great anticipation.
We wish to express our thanks to all practices that took the time and trouble to submit the details of their remuneration packages of their employed staff to the ASAQS. Your input is acknowledged and sincerely appreciated. Without your assistance this survey would not have been possible. | |
| |
STRIKING OF MEMBERS AND PRACTICES...
| |
| DUE TO NON-PAYMENT OF FEES Members are advised that in spite of numerous requests and appeals to some members and practices to pay their outstanding fees due to the ASAQS, it has sadly resulted in some members and practices recently having been struck from the membership roll of the ASAQS due to their ongoing non-payment of fees. This action was undertaken in terms of clause 6.5 of the Constitution of the Association.
The Board of the ASAQS resolved during the ASAQS Board meeting held on 07 and 08 October 2008 that any member that had not fully paid his/her outstanding fees for the period in question (end of financial year 2008/2009) would be struck from the ASAQS membership roll and have his/her membership cancelled without further notice. The same applies to QS practices that have also not met their financial obligations towards the ASAQS.
In the event that members and/or practices may believe that they have already paid some or all of the above outstanding fees, we would appeal to such members/practices to please contact the offices of the ASAQS without delay so that any possible misunderstanding may be amicably sorted out. Any queries in this regard should be directed at Ms Merilda Naicker (telephone 011 - 315 4140) at the ASAQS offices.
Nonetheless, should any already struck member/practice wish to have the former membership reinstated, this is still possible subject to all outstanding fees being settled in full and the payment of a penalty fee of R500,00 (net). On the payment of these amounts, all records will be amended to the former status that existed prior to the point of being struck.
Is your name on the list ?

STANDARD PROJECT NOTICE BOARD ADOPTED
| |
| Members are advised that during recent meetings of the BEP Grouping is was agreed by all the participating associations to again adopt a standard design of the "Project Notice Board". This was in place some years ago, but sadly this standardised approach has not always been adhered to on many projects.
It was resolved that all the members of the participating member associations be encouraged to again comply with the use of the standard design adopted. To view the master design, complete with some explanatory notes, please visit the CUG. | |
| |
PANEL OF ARBITRATORS
| |
| The Association head office periodically gets calls from members of the public requesting names of suitable Arbitrators/Mediators/Adjudicators to assist on projects where disputes have arisen. Although many of our Quantity Surveying members may well be suited for such appointments, a list of separately compiled "Recommended Panel of Arbitrators" was needed to assist with such enquiries. When such enquiries are received, the persons making the appeal can then be presented with the complete list of all suitable persons that may be in a position to undertake such arbitration work, and everybody is given a fair opportunity to be offered such work through the assistance of the ASAQS.
An appeal was extended to all our members who are qualified, willing and able to act as Arbitrators/Mediators/Adjudicators to contact the Executive Director, Mr Egon Wortmann (telephone 011 – 315 4140) so that their names be placed on the panels of suitable Arbitrators/Mediators/Adjudicators. Following on this, the list of suitable candidates was prepared on a region-by-region basis. Should the Association then subsequently be approached for recommendations of suitable candidates, the persons requiring such names will simply be furnished with the relevant panel with the complete list of Arbitrators willing to operate in the applicable region. Members were requested to clearly stipulate in which Chapter area/s they would be willing to accept such arbitration appointments.

REPORT ON CIDB REGISTER OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICE PROVIDERS
| |
| Following on a meeting of the BEP Grouping with representatives of the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) on Wednesday 25 November 2009, a report-back was given on the progress made on the proposed national Register of the Professional Services Providers. Whilst it was acknowledged that there was still some way to go before the final document will be finalised and completed before it can be implemented, progress has nevertheless been made.
A draft document entitled "Draft Framework for the Design and Operation of the Register of Professional Service Providers (RoPSP)" was tabled for discussion at the meeting. It was reported that this draft document would also have been be presented to and debated further at the CIDB Board meeting held on Tuesday 01 December 2009. After that meeting a revised document was to be finalised and made available to all constituent organisations and interest groups for further consideration and comment.
We are pleased that the CIDB representative called for assistance and comment from the BEP Grouping members, which was willingly offered. This augers well for the future in ensuring that the new Register be based on comment and input from the professional associations. Further reports will be issued as the process unfolds. | |

REPORT FOR THE BEPMEDS MEDICAL SCHEME
| |
| In a recent communication to the Bepmeds members, further information was issued to place on record the developments of the proposed merger between Bepmeds and Profmed. Unfortunately the proposed merger has not yet been confirmed by the Council for Medical Professions (CMS) for the reasons stated earlier. Click here to read the communication letter dated 10 November 2009. In the Principal Officer's Report submitted to the Board of Trustees on Thursday 19 November 2009, the Principal Officer, Mr John Rollason, reported as follows:
Financial Strength The trustees reviewed at today's meeting (19.11.2009) the management accounts of the Scheme for the 10-month period to 31 October 2009. These showed that the Scheme has achieved an overall surplus of R4.675m year to date and reserves have increased to over 11.5%. In addition, the Scheme has reinsurance in place to provide protection against high-costing hospitalisation claims and the Registrar holds a R5m bank guarantee in favour of the Scheme.
Thus, the Scheme has financial strength both on and off-balance sheet.
Corporate Governance I am an independent principal officer and I have no connection with either the supporting professional associations or the administrators. Over the years I have been involved with several medical schemes. I can genuinely say that I have never been more impressed with such excellent standards of good corporate governance as those maintained by the Bepmeds trustees, their absolute devotion to the Scheme and the time and effort which they contribute (unpaid) to ensuring that Bepmeds remains `a professional medical scheme, by professionals, for professionals!' The Bepmeds members are very fortunate to have a Board of Trustees of such calibre looking after their interests. | |
