Book a building control inspection

Site inspections are required (at least) during the stages below:

Before you book an inspection

Before an inspection is requested, we require a building control application. Once this application is received and validated, you will receive a building control application number.   

To book an inspection, you will need the following:

• building control application number
• site address
• inspection type
• name and contact details of the person making the booking

Inspections are carried out on weekday mornings between 8.30am and 1pm. However, we are unable to offer timed appointments. Surveyors carry out their visits in a logical order to save on both time and mileage.

Our working practice aims to reduce travelling time and improve the efficiency of our service. Most notice periods required for inspection are two working days. However, we aim to visit 99% of projects the next working day. Any requests for an inspection the following day must be made before 3.00pm to be included within this performance target. If we are unable to fulfil your inspection within this target period, you will be notified and advised if you can continue or should wait for an inspection.
