Commencement of building works

To ensure that your work is constructed in accordance with the building regulations we will send you a tailored program of inspections for your project. 

What happens when work starts?

These may include:

  • commencement of work
  • excavation of Foundations before concreting
  • foundation when constructed
  • damp proof course when laid 
  • radon barriers, if applicable
  • site concrete or floor slab (before being laid)
  • drains laid (before backfilling)
  • roof structure 
  • occupation (in respect of new dwellings only)
  • completion of work (to be notified within five days of completion)

You need to tell us when a visit is required. If possible any statutory inspections require 24 hours notice except commencement which is 48 hours.

The inspection fee becomes payable following commencement (full plans only). We will request this by invoice.
