What you fill in

Four guided groups across seven PDF sections.

  1. Property and Extent

    The land subject to the application and the aspect/s certified.

  2. Basis and References

    Certification basis, reference documentation, and certifier details.

  3. Competent Person

    Your name, licence, contact, and postal details.

  4. Signature

    Sign and date the certificate.

Design-spec certificates slow down the handover

What trips up appointed competent persons before the building certifier gets the paperwork.

Same competent person details every job

Name, company, licence, and postal address should carry over when you certify design or specification on the next job.

Long narrative blocks on a flat PDF

Extent, basis, and reference documentation are hard to fill cleanly on a phone PDF viewer.

Certifiers expect the PDF in order

Generic PDF editors do not match the Building Regulation 2021 Form 15 field order.
