structural design and stability certificate agreement

When you need it

You are engaging a structural engineer for a new building or a major extension. The Agreement sets out the structural design and drawings, who arranges the soil investigation, the stages at which the Engineer inspects the work on site, whether a stability certificate will be issued at the end, the fee and who owns the drawings.

Not for asking an engineer to assess an existing building — use the Structural Stability Certificate Request. Not a substitute for the architect's appointment or the contract with your contractor.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

Chargeable as an agreement, not a conveyance. PUNJAB: Article 5, Schedule I-A to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 as applicable in Punjab, residuary rate under Article 5(c). Confirm the current figure with the Sub-Registrar or against revenue.punjab.gov.in. CHANDIGARH: the equivalent agreement article under the Chandigarh Administration's table at revenue.chd.gov.in; confirm at the Sub-Registrar's office, 30 Bays Building.

Registration

Not compulsorily registrable under section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 — no interest in immovable property is created.

Notarisation

Not legally required. Notarising is sometimes done to fix the date of signing, which can matter if the start date or timeline is later disputed.

Witnesses

Not legally required. One witness per side is common practice.
