  Updated Seal Brochure published

  The Board of Architecture and the Board of Examiners for Engineers have updated the seal brochure that was originally issued in 2003.  The seal brochure has been a valuable tool for code officials thought out the state.  While you will find that most of content is not new, it has been redesigned and updated for ease of use on smartphones and tablets.  It also offers more clarification based on comments the Boards have received throughout the years.  The brochure is not a final statement on every subject addressed in the rules and laws that govern the practice of architecture and engineering, but should be used as a starting place for guidance on various issued related to sealing documents.
