Consultant's certificates are not certificates issued by a contract administrator or project manager under the terms of a building contract. These are certificates which a professional is asked to sign to certify that the building has been constructed properly. Architects, surveyors, and structural engineers are often called upon to sign consultant's certificates. Although they take different forms, most contain similar information. This chapter explains some of the problems: insurance, site visits, reliance, time period, liabilities, and charging. To put it bluntly, the main purpose of these certificates is to make use of one's professional indemnity insurance if there are defects in the building after it has been occupied. Most certificates expect one to have made site visits during construction and then certify that the building has been constructed to a satisfactory standard.
