Record drawings

When providing a set of record documents (drawings and/or specifications) to reflect the condition of the building "as-built", the architect is required to certify their accuracy - True or False?

AnswerFalse - in fact, it is inadvisable to certify because to prepare record documents, the architect is relying on information provided by the contractor and others who completed the work, and only partly on first-hand site observations during construction.

For further discussion, refer to AIA Best Practices article Certifying As-built or Record Drawings.
