Self-Certification is...
a program that allows licensed architects and engineers, registered with the City, to self-certify that a project complies with all applicable laws and codes and the project can be approved without full review by plan examiners (though some 20% of applications are randomly selected for audit).

Is it New?Self-Certification programs have existed in New York City and Chicago for several years.
48% of new building applications to NY City Department of Buildings in 2006 were self-certified.
City of Dayton, OH has a pilot program.
AIA Phoenix was recently instrumental in the adoption of a self-certification program in Phoenix (modeled after Chicago).

Advantages?The chief advantage is the time saved in the permitting process for all projects. Earlier occupancy, rents, better materials prices.
TI work, in particular, is positively affected.
With a tight budget it may give the City the opportunity to re-assign personnel from plan check to other duties.
Architects more directly assume the responsibility (and liability) they already have.

How Does It Work?(programs vary by city... following based on Phoenix)
The architect applies to the City to become registered to self-certify projects.
In addition to general information, and 3 yrs. of practice, 3-5 projects are listed for which the applicant was the architect of record.
The architect attends a City-run training program for applicants. Typical fees run from $1,500-$2,500 for a 16 hr. training program.
Qualified architect submits project (see flow chart).

What About My E & O?
Preliminary indications from insurance agents in the Albuquerque area indicate there is no increase in liability beyond that already assumed by the design professional.
