Re: Charging to use Masters' Liscence to pull permits
This sort of thing has been known to happen in the engineering world as well. One person does a design, and presents the completed project to a licensed professional engineer, who then, for a small fee, applies the PE seal. The practice is explicitly forbidden by law, and violates the Engineers Code of Ethics. I?ve also heard of similar cases related to the misuse of the Washington State Electrical Administrator License.
But let?s not be too hasty in judgment. Let me split a hair here. Are you asking for a fair price for you to pull the permit, so that a person who lacks the legal authority to pull the permit (be that person your boss or a total stranger, it matters not), and so that you can then walk away from the project, leaving all the construction work to the unlicensed person, and not even bothering to inspect the work to assure yourself that the work complies with codes and professional standards of workmanship? If that is your question, then re-read the answers given above. And if your boss is pressuring you into accepting this situation, then I urge you to report your boss to the licensing authority.
However, if you pull the permit, and are involved in pre-job briefings, and monitor the progress of the installation, and are free to inspect and reject unsatisfactory work, then you would be doing what your license requires of you. Bottom line: Don?t involve your license without also involving your brain.
