Chartered Engineer Certificates
A chartered engineer certificate is a signed technical opinion about a machine, a structure or a piece of work. We issue these in house, because our own principal is a practising chartered engineer.
- Working since 1995
- Government approved valuer
- ISO 9001 certified
- Reports in 48 to 72 hours
- Trusted by 800 plus chartered accountants, CPAs and lawyers
What it is
Sometimes an authority needs a qualified engineer to look at something and state a fact in writing. How old is this machine. How much working life does it have left. Is this structure sound. What is this equipment worth.
That statement, signed by a chartered engineer, is a CE certificate. It is a technical certification rather than a full valuation report, although the two often go together.
Common reasons people need one
- Customs. Importing used machinery, where officials need the age, condition and value certified
- Machinery condition and life. For lenders, insurers or buyers
- Structural soundness. A signed opinion on whether a structure is safe
- Work completion. Certifying that construction was carried out as described
- Loan applications. Where a lender wants engineering confirmation alongside a valuation
Why in house matters
Many valuation firms subcontract this. They take your job, send it to an engineer they have never met, and pass the certificate back with a markup. If a question arises later, nobody in the chain can answer it properly.
Parish Rao is a Chartered Engineer and Government Approved Valuer. The certificate is issued by the same practice that does your valuation, and the person who signed it can explain it.
Questions people ask us
- What is the difference between this and a valuation report?
A valuation says what something is worth. A CE certificate states a technical fact, such as age, condition, remaining life or soundness. Many jobs need both, and we can issue them together.
- Do you inspect before certifying?
Always. A certificate signed without inspection is not worth having and we will not issue one.
- How quickly can this be done?
Usually within 48 to 72 hours of the inspection, depending on what has to be examined.
- Will customs accept it?
A certificate from a practising chartered engineer covering age, condition and value is the standard requirement. If your customs agent has a specific format, send it and we will follow it.
