As part of the building control process we'll inspect the project at key stages in the build to make sure it complies with buildings regulations.

It's your duty to inform us at the relevant stages during the works. We've produced a schedule of inspection stages that sets out what we'll need to inspect and when. The number and type of inspections will vary depending on the complexity of the build.

If you don't keep us informed about the building progress and book inspections at the right stages you may need to open up the works for us to check them. This will cause you extra expense and delay. 

How to book an inspection

To arrange an inspection please provide:

• your application number
• your name
• your contact number
• the site address and plot number(s) if necessary. 
• the type of inspection you're arranging

You can do this by either:
