as-built structural drawings
(OP)
for licensed engineers: how often are you asked to provide as-built drawings? do you seal and sign the drawings?
I seal and sign original construction documents, specs, addenda and construction bulletins, which is required by state statutes. State statutes do not address as-builts per se, but require "documents of service" to be sealed and signed. After the building is constructed, what is the need for sealed and signed as-builts? as-builts are a record set for the owner to have on-hand for future use, but not for construction.
curious to know other's opinions and experiences.

10. A licensee is not required to stamp the following documents:
(a) An engineering as?built plan or record plan;
I believe that an engineer should never stamp as-built plans because you might be assuming responsibility for the way it was built, rather than the way you designed it.

Interesting to know that the Nevada statutes have a specific statement about as-builts. Oklahoma statutes mention several types of documents that require seals and signatures, but as-builts are not included in the list. unless as-builts are intended to be included under the catch-all phrase, "documents of service".

No stamps or signatures are ever put on the drawings.
