Site Inspection Notification
Building Regulations require that the person carrying out
building work shall give the Council Notice when the work has
reached a particular stage. The prescribed
stages are set out below. Notice may be given in
writing, telephone, e-mail, facsimile or in person.
When certain stages are reached the work should pause to give
the Council time to make an inspection.
The following are the stages at which notification if
applicable must be given. Stage 6 is not mandatory but is
strongly recommended.
- Commencement - at least 2 working days before
work commences
- Foundation Excavation - at least 1 working day prior to
concreting
- Foundation Concrete - at least 1 working day
prior to covering of the concrete
- Damp Proof Course - at least 1 working day
prior to covering of damp proof course
- Ground Floor Oversite Preparation - at least 1 working day
prior to laying of concrete
- Structural Timber, Steelwork or Concrete - at least 1
working day prior to covering
- Drains & Private Sewers - at least 1 working day prior
to covering
- Drains after Covering - within 5 working days of covering
to enable testing to be carried out
- Occupation before Completion - not less than 5 working
days before occupation
- Completion - within 5 working days of completion of
building works
In some cases additional inspections may also be considered
necessary, if so you will be advised by the Inspecting
Surveyor.
Wherever possible inspections of the building works will be
carried out the same day providing Notice is received prior to
10.00 am.
If the Local Authority is not informed of relevant stages of
work for inspection it may, by Notice in Writing, require the work
to be opened up for inspection so that it can be ascertained
whether or not the work complies with the Building
Regulations.
