- Structural, Mechanical, Plumbing, Electrical and Geotechnical design for all Complex Buildings
- Structural design for all structural systems and engineered products not explicitly covered by Part 9 of the B.C. Building Code

- Professional seal and signature on the construction plans
- Letters of Assurance in the format prescribed by the BC Building Code

Where letters of assurance are required to issue a building permit, the corresponding schedules C-A and C-B must be received from the registered professional prior to occupancy of the building.
