Many of the houses are designed by architects and lack a supervising engineer, or houses built on the outskirts of cities that were not part of the urban boundary before and gradually became part of the urban boundary. Sometimes, the use of the property has changed over time and the residential property has changed to a commercial or office property. In such cases, the owner needs a completion certificate to transfer the property, demolish and renovate it, or perform municipal affairs. To issue a certificate of completion for such buildings, municipalities require the owner to prepare a bond of supervision with the stamp and approval of a supervising engineer, called a building strength certificate. Usually, the owner also receives the approval from the supervising engineer by paying an amount as a supervision fee and preparing the necessary documents and goes to the municipality to receive the completion certificate. In the building strength sheet, the supervising engineer confirms that he has visited the building and confirms the static strength of the building.
What is the building strength sheet?
As we mentioned, some buildings do not have a certificate of completion for various reasons, such as lack of supervision by the supervising engineer or change of use, etc. In this situation, the owner needs a certificate of completion for any change in the property, such as buying and selling or transferring documents, or demolition and renovation.
The municipality, according to its own laws and in order to remove responsibility from its organization, asks the owner to prepare a building strength and stability certificate from a supervising engineer, which is called a building strength certificate. In such cases, the owner also receives the strength sheet from a supervising engineer by paying an amount as a monitoring fee. During the building strength sheet, the supervising engineer declares that he visited the building and confirmed its strength and stability.
What if something happens to the building that is due to its lack of stability and strength, for example, the building settles or the wall If the building collapses, the supervising engineer who signed the building strength sheet is responsible. Therefore, the supervising engineer must be very careful when signing the building strength sheet.
