Is it unlawful to design a +25 residential units project without being a certified architect in California?
Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Aldo LaClass asked:
Can a developer hire a “design company” (not a certified architect) to make/build a mixed use project with more than 25 units?
This looks pretty unlawful to me. But maybe there is some exception like having an approval from some kind of engineer stamping the project?
Does this third party certification needs to be applied prior to its submission or after is was greenlighted?
Note : We have the plans of a greenlighted project by the city but without any stamps of any kind of third party certification.
