developer shall be supported by a certificate signed by the Vendor’s Architect.
• It further states that every much certificate so signed shall be proof of the facts the works
referred to have been completed.
• The responsibility on the Architect is therefore heavy, as his certificate is conclusive proof
that the stage of work has been completed and the developer is entitled to collect his
stage payment.
• Thus the Architect has to satisfy himself that the works have been completed before
issuing the certificate for stage payment. He must not, under any circumstance, issue
these certificates prematurely.
• Clause 21(1) of the S & P Agreement which specifies the Manner of Delivery of
Vacant Possession also empowers the Architect to act.
• This clause places responsibility on the Architect for the issuance of the certificate
certifying completion of the said building.
• Great responsibility is placed on the Architect to discharge his professional duty by

exercising fair judgment on whether the construction of the said building has been duly
completed.
• The clause also requires the Certificate of Fitness to be applied for which is done by the
Architect as agent of the vendor. The Architect must note here that the application for the
CF may involve the works undertaken by the other consultants and other contractors and
proper coordination is necessary.
• The Architect should also not prematurely apply for the CF without properly checking that
all parties have completed their scope of works and that all the conditions of approval
have been complied with.
