New Modifications to the Hungarian Construction Related Professions

Budapest, 22 April 2022

Substantial modifications were made to the legal framework regulating construction-related profession exercising activities, i.e. designers, construction technical supervisors, responsible technical leaders and construction experts.

The new rules that entered into effect on April 1, 2022, uniformly provides for all aforementioned activities that an entity may start and continue such a professional activity if it has announced its intention to do so and its managing director, member contributing personally or employee working at least 20 hours a week has a professional qualification in the given field and the activity is carried out by the person holding the qualification.

The successful exam has become a condition for the permission of all profession exercising the above activities. However, the regional chamber may award a professional title to an applicant who is a member of the chamber. We note that the title of “investment adviser” and the title of “particularly experienced” have been deleted.
