An hour of preparation makes the Building Control visit go smoothly — and avoids the visit that did not happen.

Confirm the booking

Have the paperwork on site

Engineer's drawings, the Building Regulations approval, insulation datasheets, and the previous inspection comments. Inspectors should not have to ask.

Be present if you can

You learn more about your own project from one Building Control visit than from a week of site meetings.
