Sealing Record Drawings
Sealing Record Drawings
(OP)
All,
I am looking at an RFP that requires, as part of the scope of work, the record drawings (aka as-builts) are to be stamped and signed by the respective disciplines. Has anyone seen this before? What are your thoughts?
Regards,
MZ

RE: Sealing Record Drawings
As built drawings should be provided by the contractor... and the information can be added to the project drawings without seal and, generally, without company titlebox...

Your seal doesn't certify anything anyway (at least in the US) - it only identifies you as the engineer who prepared the plans.
RE: Sealing Record Drawings
One thing to watch is that it seems to be a fairly regular disciplinary action when engineers seal "as-built" drawings which turn out to be inaccurate (ie, the engineer didn't even look at the "as-built" situation.) With that in mind, I'd be learing of sealing them even with the disclaimer- better to have copies of the sealed drawings marked up by others to reflect as-built unless you're personally able to go check everything out.
