Inspection Guidance   This is where we inspect and approve the building work carried out on site.  You or your builder will need to inform us when the work reaches certain stages (please see the list below), so that we can visit the site and inspect the work.

Please remember that the type and complexity of your project will determine the number of inspections required.  Your surveyor will inform you if they require additional site visits.    These site visits will ensure that the building work is monitored for compliance with the Building Regulations. Once work has finished on-site in accordance with the Building Regulations you will receive a Completion Certificate.  (see completion certificates)   Notice Time Construction Stage 48 hours Commencement of work 24 hours Inspection of excavations for foundations 24 hours Foundations concreted 24 hours Oversite preparation prior to concreting 24 hours Damp Proof Course (DPC) *24 hours *First Floor Joists 24 hours Drains Laid, prior to backfilling Within 5 days    Drains on test *24 hours *Roof construction in place & including Loft Conversion before structural timbers are covered Within 5 days Occupation of Building Within 5 days Completion of Work   *These are non-statutory inspections The notice time does not include Saturdays, Sundays, Bank or Public Holidays.   Booking an Inspection   Please call 01603 430100 to book a site inspection.  We can normally  visit a site the same day if you call before  10 am (subject to staff availability).
