Are there circumstances where architects and professional engineers can provide services in each other’s discipline?
Yes architects and professional engineers can provide incidental services under the other profession’s discipline as set out under OBC Section 2.3.1.1 (2) and under the Architects Act and the Professional Engineers Act, where those services do not constitute a substantial part of the services as provided by the other profession. That provision only applies where both architect(s) and professional engineer(s) have been engaged, and those professionals are determining the extent of these incidental services. For example, this provision does not permit an engineer to design an assembly occupancy in the absence of an architect. Nor does it permit an architect to provide the structural design services for a high-rise building in the absence of a professional engineer. How should Building Officials deal with recurring problems and is there an alternative to the formal Complaints process?
