Structural engineer shall not be held responsible for misdeeds / poor deeds of others viz Site execution and QC at site to be the responsibility of Site Lead Er , PMC if there , shall be subversive to owner who will seek Quality Certiifications from PM Lead Er. Architect certification regarding Land use , FAR , and Arch drgs . A str Er must be responsible for design, analysis and details to be in accordance with Standards.
I request that thru this Code, LEAD Structural ENGINEER Certification shall be Standardised and uniform in India .
STRUCTURAL STABILITY CERTIFICATE
Structural design /details for subject work/project submitted to M/s - - - - - has been carried out strictly as per Relevant BIS Codes . Foundation of structures were designed as per recommendations of Geo technical Consultant M/s - - - - - - ( hired by Owner ) . Structure design /drgs submissions ensure the subject Structure SAFE , SOUND AND STABLE as per BIS standards .
* Regarding Construction and QC refer footnote
** Regarding Deviations / Alterations Refer footnote note
The design / drgs / details have also been Proof checked by Structural Consultant M/s - - - -
* Construction must be carried out by owner through its hired Construction Agency strictly as per relevant latest BIS Standards maintaining Continued QUALITY Control through Independent QC Consultant and Owner shall seek required certifications from those Agencies including Certification from Soil Geo tech Consultant .
** No Deviations / No Alterations be permitted by Owner who has sole responsibility to ensure this.

I believe that the structural engineer can only be held responsible for adequacy of the design drawings issued by him/her and not what is built at site as he/she has not been contracted for site supervision or as PMC.
This should be incorporated in the template of a standard
agreement of structural engineers.

As correctly pointed out by Shri. Gnanasekaran Ji, there must be a clause for fixing responsibility for failure due to unauthorised addition alteration by builder / constructor and Structural Engineers need to be indemnified thereby. But This responsibility should be fixed on builder / constructor only. Civic authorities can not keep 24 hours vigil on such constructions even if they wish to. No any engineer shall suffer either from consultancy side or civic administration for misdeeds of generally illiterate builder/constructor.

The conference on draft code for sending viewpoints last date is today 4th Sept.
Just to summarize various broad points sent thru various posts during this week fm my end are as iunder:
1.0 STANDARD STRUCTURAL STABILITY CERTIFICATION
( Standard Form to be included in this Code and also in NBC )
2.0 QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE OF PDC , PC & PEER REVIWER
( Complex and special strs exclusively for Lead Mtechs with good experience , but routine strs for Betchs with good experience)
3.0 CLASSIFICATIONS OF CONSULTANTS
( This is important as it is seen that even one man structural experts / Retired structural engineer also working as PDC & PC , Ers / Consultants with limited resources working for str design work , there are big Consultants , so projects / str work must be identified and categorised to cater all Consultants , though a higher class Consultant can work on all type of str work .
4.0 CATEGORISATION OF STRUCTURES
( As stated at 3.0 , Categorization is necessary so that Competency cum capability be given due weightage . A design work suffer if it is awarded to a Consultant not able to deliver effectively for want of competency / capability (resources). Thus this could be included to safeguard against project / work being going into incompetent / incapable hands.
( Strs can be categorised as Compkex/ Special Structures, Mega structures , Semi mega ( Medium) Strs , Small Structures & Low Budget Structures) |

STRUCTURAL AUDITING MUST BE INCLUDED IN THIS CODE . FIRST AUDIT MAY BE AFTER 10 YRS
WHOLE LIFE IN ITSELF IS VERY CONFUSING TERM . NO MATERIAL IS IMMORTAL , NO INDVIDUAL ( DESIGNER) IS IMMORTAL. A FULLY LOADED STR IF STANDS INITIALLY FOR A PERIOD OF 7 YRS WITHOUT CRACKING TENDENCY , IT SHALL BE TREATED TO BE OK.. PERIODIC STRUCTURAL AUDIT AND MAINTENANCE MUST BE DEFINED IN THE CODE FOR STR LONGEVITY.
