You have to give building control an opportunity to see the installation a) before you start, b) after first fix, and c) on completion with all the test results - BUT BEFORE BEING MADE LIVE for user.
You will also need to show compliance with the various sections of the Buidling Regulations: B - Fire Safety C - ... Resistance to Moisture E - Resistance to the Passage of Sound F - Ventilation L - Conservation of Fuel and Power M - Access to and Use of Buildings P - Electrical Safety (of course) BTW: It is a criminal offence to carry out work that does not comply with building regulations, with a maximum fine of £5,000 - the Owner would be liable for this offence! |
I am not aware of a requirement for the LABC to see the job before you start - yes they may want to do a pre-plaster check, and what's this about them seeing it 'before being made live for the user'?
the installation must be powered up to do your tests, so if it passes, and is safe, are you suggesting the user is not allowed to use it until the council come 'round?
I am both qualified and competent to install and test my own work - and there is not a man alive in this country that can overule or overide my testing of the installation. My decisions as the inspector are final and absolute, and NO-ONe (including the unqualified monkeys at the LABC) has the power to question my decisions
