What requirements must a European architects fulfil to practice in this country?

If it is a one case permission for a work, it is valid for a year and the requirement is a diploma accepted by the EU, and licence in the own county. 

If the architect want to be a member of the chamber of Hungarian Architects, he must have a diploma and must fulfil the same requirements as the Hungarian architects.

By law all this action is done by the Budapest Chamber of Architects.

The conditions for practicing foreign designers in Hungary are regulated by Government Decree 104/2006 (IV.28). According to this, foreign designers should be treated in two groups. One is a national of an EU Member State and one is a third-country national.
 
A citizen of an EU Member State can perform planning activities in two ways in Hungary:
 
                – You can apply for ad hoc permission for a specific design work, with a max. valid for one year. The requirement for a license is the recognition of a diploma, which is carried out by the Budapest Chamber of Architects in the case of a diploma obtained in an EU country.
 
                – It may be a member of the Chamber and may request a register entry, valid for five years and renewable. Membership also requires the recognition of a diploma and an entry examination for entry in the register (in Hungarian!). The five-year renewal is conditional on the completion of compulsory professional training.
 
A third-country national can only apply for membership and registration on the basis of a residence permit, which is a prerequisite for professional practice. The terms and conditions of membership are identical to those of an EU country. On the basis of reciprocity, only Swiss nationals are subject to the rules applicable to nationals of EU Member States.

You must apply for recognition of the diploma at the Hungarian Education and Equivalence Office. The forms required for submitting applications can be downloaded from the BÉK website, which also contains a list of mandatory annexes.

Los Arquitectos que cuenten con una titulación recogida en las directivas europeas pueden optar directamente a un sistema de reconocimiento automático.
 
Fuente: European Commission. Automatic Recognition
 
In the EU, there is a system of automatic recognition of professional qualifications for seven so-called sectoral professions: nurses, midwives, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, architects and veterinary surgeons.
 
HOW AUTOMATIC RECOGNITION WORKS
 
To work in another EU country, professionals must apply to the authority that oversees the profession in that country, providing proof of their qualifications.
 
The authority must:
                – acknowledge your application within 1 month of receiving it and ask you for missing but necessary documents to process the application
                – assess your qualifications, and decide whether to grant your application within 3 months (or 4 months for certain complicated cases in the area of non-automatic recognition)
 
In case of disagreement, professionals can appeal to the court in the respective country. For the type of documents authorities may ask for, please see the Code of conduct (3 MB).
 
 
ARCHITECTS
 
Automatic recognition
The authorities in any EU country must recognise any of the architects' qualifications listed in:
                – Annex V, point 5.7.1 of the Directive on recognition of professional qualifications
or
                – Annex VI of the Directive on recognition of professional qualifications provided your studies started no later than the academic year mentioned.
 
Professional qualifications are automatically recognised if they are from a university or equivalent-level institution and if the studies:
                – lasted at least 4 years full-time or 6 years study of which at least 3 years was full-time;
                – had architecture as the principal component;
                – had theoretical and practical components;
                – taught the basic knowledge and skills listed in Article 46 of Directive 2005/36/EC on recognition of professional qualifications.
 
NOTE: The qualifications listed in Annex V, point 5.7.1 of the Directive all meet these criteria. Those listed in Annex VI do not, but are still automatically recognised.
 
The authorities in some EU countries require architects to have a certain amount of experience before allowing them to carry the title of an architect. They may not apply the same requirement to you if this is not required under the rules of your own country.
 
Non-automatic recognition
 
Even if the architect’s qualification does not meet the criteria for automatic recognition and is not listed in Directive 2005/36/EC, it may still be recognised in other EU countries under the general system for recognition of qualifications.
 
However, if the authorities think the training is significantly different from the training required in the respective country, professionals may have to sit an aptitude test or to complete an adaptation period.
 
For detailed information on which qualifications may be recognized on this basis and what conditions may be attached, see Articles 10 to 15 of Directive (2005/36/EC).

In case you wish to practice a regulated profession, it is essential that you have your degree recognised by the competent Hungarian authority in order to have the right to practice that regulated profession in Hungary. To start with you should gain information as to which Hungarian authority is competent to recognise that regulated profession.
 
Under the Directive there are two main categories of regulated professions.
 
1. The first category contains only the following seven professions: doctor, dentist, pharmacist, nurse, midwife, veterinary surgeon and architect. The recognition of these professions fall under automatic recognition since the qualification requirements leading to these professional qualifications were harmonised by all Member States. Consequently, during the recognition procedure the competent authorities do not examine the training leading to these qualifications, but they only examine whether the applicant has fulfilled all the requirements necessary to practice that profession in the home Member State. The automatic recognition of a foreign qualification does not mean that the practice of the profession may not have other conditions. (Such conditions can be the possession of a certificate of good character and repute or a certificate of good health.)
 
The recognition of the above mentioned seven professions are done by the following authorities:
 
      ARCHITECT:
      Budapest Architect Chamber (BEK.Budapesti Építész Kamara)
      Address: H-1088 Budapest, Ötpacsirta u. 2.
      Phone: (+36-1) 318-2444,
      Fax: (+36-1) 338-2775,
      website: www.budapestiepiteszkamara.hu
      e-mail: bek@t-online.hu
 
These authorities give detailed information concerning the recognition procedure.
 
At all times the request for recognition must be handed in to the authority responsible for that given profession. The authority shall pass judgement on case by case basis. The request must clearly state to which regulated Hungarian profession you wish to gain right to practice. The regulated profession you wish to practice in Hungary must accord with the profession you have the right to practice in your home Member State. If you wish to practice more than one profession in Hungary, you must hand in separate requests for the recognition of each profession, prior to which you should make sure which authority is in charge of which profession.

Architectural – technical design of buildings. Compiling construction documents required for building, extending, renewing, transforming, restoring, upgrading, demolishing, moving or changing the use of a building, part of a building or block of buildings and controlling this process in compliance with provisions set forth in the Government Decree qualifies as an architectural, technical design activity, in addition to which construction site management activities may also be undertaken if the constructor contracts this (Sections 32(1) and 33(4) of the Building Act).

Opcional. Siendo Arquitecto europeo no es necesario, pero en algunos casos puede ser conveniente una colaboración con un socio local.
 
Fuente: ICEX. Hungría
 
SOCIOS LOCALES
 
En el mercado húngaro es muy conveniente la presencia de un socio local bien introducido. No sólo por la barrera idiomática, sino también para que ayude en los procesos burocráticos que pueden llegar a resultar lentos y complejos.
 
El sector inmobiliario, aunque se libra del laberinto de procesos administrativos de adjudicaciones de concursos públicos, puede tropezar con la “arbitrariedad” municipal a la hora de la emisión de permisos y autorizaciones, por lo que sigue conformando un proceso burocrático complejo que puede suponer una barrera de entrada. Otra barrera es la escasez de mano de obra que afecta tanto al sector de la construcción global como al inmobiliario y que hace que los costes de construcción se incrementen, aumentando a su vez el precio final del inmueble.
 
Cabe también destacar la barrera que supone el idioma húngaro, que dificulta el establecimiento de oficinas locales y la contratación de personal para las mismas. No obstante, actualmente la mayoría de la población joven habla un perfecto inglés y en ocasiones otros idiomas como el alemán.

– No obligation to insure (General insurance or project-based insurance policy.)
 
– Legal Basis Commonly used: Term and Conditions: 1996/LVIII Law for Chambers of Engineers and Architects; 1997/LXXVIII Law for the Construction and Protection of Build Environment
 
– The Architect who is registered needs no more requirements in order to obtain the Insurance.
 
– There is no standard calculation of insurance premium. It depends on how big damage should be covered (the whole and the separate ones) and on the yearly turn over of the Architect office. The conditions are mostly determined by the client.
 
– The end of the construction phase as a point of departure for a period of specific liabilities. Liabilities after work:
                – Harm to the structure (to its soundness or stability): Insurance covers damages as long as the period of the insurance bond is valid.
                – Unsuitability for the function: There is no insurance for this
                – Hidden defects: If it can be proved. Insurance contracts cover the design phase and the construction phase, some can be extended for 2 years upon client’s demands. No insurances for the length of the responsibility of the architect determined by law. No insurance for "after the construction / insurance cover period"
 
– Duration of Liability:
                In general: 10 to 50 years, it depends which structure of the building show the defect. Also there is a practice that the architect is liable as long that the mistake can be traced back for her/his design.
 
– Does the insurer respond to a claims made or claims rising basis? Sometimes liability goes into effect at moment of claim made or other times when claims occur.
 
– There is only one kind of Insurance contract: General design liability insurance.

OPORTUNIDADES DE INVERSIÓN
 
El sector inmobiliario, que fue en el pasado un sector preferente para la inversión española, sufrió un gran retroceso con la crisis, pero desde 2016 se ha reactivado, principalmente debido a la construcción residencial. En 2017 se construyeron 14.389 nuevas viviendas, un 44% más que en 2016 y aumentaron los permisos de construcción emitidos en un 20% (37.997 permisos en total). Además, según datos del Banco Nacional de Hungría, el mercado doméstico de bonos hipotecarios también ha crecido, alcanzando las emisiones de bonos hipotecarios casi los 400 mil millones de forintos (1.233 millones de euros) en 2017, evidenciando una progresiva recuperación del mercado inmobiliario.
 
El valor total de la producción del sector de la construcción alcanzó en 2017 los 2.494.753 millones de forintos (7.686,84 millones de euros), un 29,6% más con respecto al año anterior. El crecimiento no sólo se debió a las construcciones residenciales e industriales, sino también a las construcciones de ingeniería civil (autopistas y trabajos de renovación ferroviaria), gracias a la financiación de los fondos europeos.
 
En los primeros meses de 2017 el gobierno húngaro publicó la mayoría de las licitaciones de gran envergadura financiadas principalmente con fondos europeos, pero se constata la gran dificultad que afrontan las empresas extranjeras para conseguir la adjudicación de licitaciones públicas. Las oportunidades en estos sectores en que grandes empresas húngaras son las que resultan con frecuencia adjudicatarias estarían, más bien, en el segundo escalón como subcontratadas o proveedoras de las empresas adjudicatarias. Otra posibilidad es la de trabajar en consorcio con alguna empresa local.
 
 
ACUERDOS MULTILATERALES DE FINANCIACIÓN
 
El BEI (Banco Europeo de Inversiones) ha estado muy involucrado en los principales proyectos de infraestructuras del país, suministrando fondos a los bancos directamente y como garante subsidiario. Las inversiones del BEI en Hungría alcanzaron los 692 millones de euros en el año 2016, de los cuales un 41% se destinó para ayudas a Pymes, seguido por un 32% para proyectos medioambientales, un 14% para infraestructuras y un 12% para innovación. De acuerdo con el BEI, la inversión total del Grupo BEI (el Banco Europeo de Inversiones y el Fondo Europeo de Inversiones) en Hungría fue de 700 millones de euros en 2016.
 
Entre 2012 y 2016, Hungría ha recibido 5.219 millones de euros en inversiones del BEI, de los cuales el 28% se han destinado a transporte y comunicaciones, y el 24% a industria, servicios y agricultura.
 
En lo que respecta al Banco Europeo de Reconstrucción y Desarrollo (BERD), presta financiación con un interés favorable a numerosos proyectos a lo largo del país. A 31 de mayo de 2017, existen 43 proyectos activos en cartera, a través de los cuales el BERD ha invertido 604 millones de euros. Los sectores de destino de esta inversión más relevantes son infraestructuras (36%), energía (25%), instituciones financieras (23%) e industria, comercio y agricultura (16%).
