Statute overview

About this statute

Architects and urbanists, together with other professionals, may form a service company for architecture and urbanism, and that company must register with the CAU at its headquarters. A company may not use “arquitetura”, “urbanismo”, or a similar name in its company name or trade name unless it has an architect and urban planner among the managing partners or permanent employees. The CAUs have authority to manage their internal rules, carry out registrations and issue ID cards, supervise professional practice, decide disciplinary cases at first instance, and enter agreements with public and private entities. O processo disciplinar pode ser instaurado de ofício ou por representação, pode tramitar em sigilo a pedido do acusado ou do acusador, e deve tornar-se público após a decisão final. Os empregados do CAU/BR e dos CAUs Estaduais e do Distrito Federal devem ser contratados por concurso público e sob a CLT.
