Site inspections
So that you can get building control approval, we will inspect the work at pre-defined stages.
You can check your Inspection Service Plan to find out which stages need an inspection, or look on the Planning Portal.
You can book a site inspection yourself, or ask your builder or architect completing the work to book it on your behalf.
