Any person registered with a local or international built environment council and who has suitable experience and expertise (see Admission criteria) may apply to the JCD secretary to be admitted to the panel by emailing (secretary@jointcivils.co.za) or posting (PO Box 119, Parklands, 2121) a completed Application for Admission and paying an application fee.

Persons who are admitted to the panel will remain on the panel until 1 July. They need to apply to the JCD secretary to remain on the list until 1 July of the following year by completing an Annual Return and paying an annual fee. Adjudicators who, in the opinion of the JCD, compromise themselves through conflicts of interest or who perform adjudications in a sub-standard manner or not in accordance with the Adjudicators Contract will not be readmitted to the list.

The chairman of the Joint Civils Division may be called upon to nominate an Adjudicator where an Adjudicator resigns or becomes unable to act and the Parties cannot agree on a replacement. (see Nomination of an Adjudicator)
