At Rafzan Engineering, we can provide a Form 15 Certificate for structural certification. These are generally required as a step in the building approval process. If you’re unsure which you need, we look at each in more detail below. If you already know or are a building certifier looking for structural certification in the Gold Coast, Northern Rivers, or Brisbane area, contact us now.
The Rafzan Engineering team has over 30 years of experience in structural engineering. We are fully licensed and pride ourselves on producing quality and cost-effective reporting, including Forms 15. Our engineers have extensive knowledge and experience in all facets of the engineering industry.
Now let’s look at what a Form 15 covers.
Form 15 (Compliance Certificate for Building Design or Specification) A Form 15 for structural certification is issued by an appointed competent person to affirm whether or not an aspect of building work—if performed as outlined—will comply with building assessment provisions as per section 10 of the Building Act 1975 and sections 73 and 77 of the Building Regulation 2021.
Essentially, this means that the appointed person will look at a proposed component or facet of a construction project (e.g., the structural aspects of steel roof beams) and confirm whether or not it will meet current regulations if all goes to plan.
During the completion of the certificate, the appointed competent person will:
Describe the property
Describe the aspect/s to be certified
Communicate the basis for certification (what tests, rules, specifications, standards, or codes of practice were relied upon)
Relay any referencing documentation
Provide the building certifier’s reference and building application development numbers
Provide their details
Sign the certificate, provided they are satisfied the work will comply with current regulations
Upon completing a Form 15 in Queensland, the appointed person will provide the certificate to the building certifier, who will then use it as documentation in the building approval process. Contact Rafzan Engineering today if you require a structural engineering expert in QLD to complete a Form 15 Certificate for you.
