SE vs Architect license question
SE vs Architect license question
(OP)
Maybe some of you have been in this boat before. I am currently working alongside an architect as part of a design firm. We have been invited to give a proposal in a neighboring state (IL) for a small building. He has a license there, but I do not have the SE (PE only). However, reading the state laws, apparently architects can perform structural design and stamp the drawings in IL? This seems like a fishy situation, but one in which some multi-service architectural and engineering firms might find themselves. Is it illegal for me to perform this design "under" his license? In no way do I want to be in violation of the law in IL, as I am currently in the process of getting the SE.

Illinois Architecture Practice Act
Architects cannot practice land surveying or professional engineering in Illinois unless
licensed as a land surveyor or professional engineer. Architects can practice structural
engineering, ancillary to an architecture project and when properly qualified to do so but
may not use the title “structural engineer.”
Not sure a "small building" is ancillary to an architecture project - I'd be inclined to call the local AHJ or municipal code official to see what they think.
