Fake engineers

Sure they are public records. So how many AHJs can search the records for a particular contractor or engineer. They will have to manualy examine the file for each address and that is not going to happen. The AHJs don't want to open a barrel of worms. The Sherif will send a crack team of student workers.
Our permit management software is essentially a database software built for permitting and inspections. This allows us to create custom fields and create custom reports to return the data from our custom fields. I could do this in about 1/2 an hour since we already record who the engineers of record are for each trade.

We check the licensing for new engineers in our jurisdiction. Sometimes I think we are being overly cautious, but this makes em think we're doing the right thing.
