Site Inspection Notification 

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.  These stages are set out below.  Notice may be given in writing, telephone, e-mail, facsimile or in person.

The following are the stages at which notification if applicable must be given.  Stage 6 is not mandatory but is strongly recommended.

1, Commencement - at least 2 working days before work commences
2, Foundation Excavation - at least 1 working day prior to concreting
3, Foundation Concrete - at least 1 working day prior to covering of the concrete
4, Damp Proof Course - at least 1 working day prior to covering of damp proof course

8, Drains after Covering - within 5 working days of covering to enable testing to be carried out
9, Occupation before Completion - not less than 5 working days before occupation
10, 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.
