    No you cannot. You need an assigned Certifier which must be a chartered engineer, registered architect or registered building surveyor.

    Unless I'm misunderstanding this, and you ar asking if you can sign off on only carpentry side of things? If so then I would hazard a guess at yes, your partner could be your client, and aslong as you have the required documents and insurances to provide an ancillary certificate to the assigned Certifier then you may be ok, might boil down to whether your AC accepts you as the carpenter.

    You cant sign anything.

    You can do the carpentry work if your assigned certifier agrees.

    But even in the old days, you still needed proper certifications from engineers. When i say old days, i mean before the recent draft of regulations.
    So my good man, you couldnt sign it off even then.

    Was there an official cert. I'm just curious as what I have is an A4 sheet signed by my engineer with his insurance number on it just saying my house is finished to the planning gand building regs. I was abit surprised when I received it because I thought it would be more official but my engineer reassured me this is all I needed.

    That's all it ever was. When I signed off houses at the end of a project it was just a template filled in with the project details on it.

    Although we would have a safety file also to hand over to the end user.

    Yes I know but it just seems very unofficial. I thought it would have a government official paper with set numbers and tractability, stamped etc..
