(OP)
Hi guys,

Quite new to the engineering game and am a little unsure as to how the certifying process works. Let's say i design a job but another RBP signs off on the job in order to get the building permits, does the person who signed off on the job take 100% responsibility for the design if something goes wrong? Does the actual engineer not take any blame? If anyone can shed some light on this that would be much appreciated.

RE: Registered building practitioners, Australia

Dont know about Australia, but the general idea around the world is
the guy that signs/stamps the drawings and who's registration number
is normally the guy in the firing line and the company that he works for
is liable in a civil case.
