M&J Fabrication - Case #2022-44

During the investigation it was discovered that M&J Fabrication had been advertising engineering services through their website to clients without first obtaining a Certificate of Authorization. The advertisement had been on the website for approximately two years. The investigation further discovered that M&J Fabrication did not seal engineering projects since starting operations in 2015. However, those engineering projects were sent to a third-party engineering firm for review and stamping. The investigation also discovered that M&J Fabrication was designing shop drawings to give to the machinist to create items used based on customer drawings. Once the discovery was made of the advertising issue, M&J Fabrication applied for and obtained a Certificate of Authorization.

The Firm agreed to a consent order that required the following:

• Firm must pay a $1,000 civil penalty to General Fund.

• Firm must pay $54 to the Board for cost of investigation.

• The Consent Order and Final Order will be a public record.
