ordinarily applied by architects of good standing,
practicing in the same locality.

account all applicable state and municipal building
laws and regulations. While an architect may
rely on the advice of other professionals (e.g.,

as to the intent and meaning of such laws and
regulations, once having obtained such advice, an
architect shall not knowingly design a project in
violation of such laws and regulations.

if, in the board's judgment, such person's
professional competence is substantially impaired
by physical or mental disabilities.

or financial interest, the architect will either terminate
such association or interest or offer to give up
the commission or employment.
