SER Certification
SER Certification is a scheme approved and required by the States of Jersey to certify structural design drawings prior to construction. BSC offer this service in house through our qualified engineers Chartered Structural Engineers to help reduce time and costs during construction.
The certification provides an independent assurance that structural designs have been prepared and checked by appropriately qualified engineers and comply with recognised professional standards. It offers confidence to clients, architects, contractors, developers and approving authorities that structural works have been professionally designed, reviewed and certified.
Our engineers have extensive experience in structural design, analysis and verification across residential, commercial, industrial and public-sector projects.
