Signed certs that are filled in badly

That one was a Hospital

I will say that I am fine with limitations, but there is nothing in writing to confirm this has even been agreed!

 

[Flanders]

If it's your first job as qs the inspector will be more interested in your knowledge and how you assess your men( site ordits etc ) if you can show that you are competent then you should not have to many issues or have they ask to look at reports from the last 3 years

what was the extent of the works?

New DB board and updating of 2 addition DB boards

I have spoken the NIC and they are saying the same thing Flanders. The company are worried they will lose their accreditation

Are you doing the PDH job as well ?.

am getting the feeling that the PDH likes to move a lot! When he drew up budgets for jobs he would go off spec and miss a lot off.

Am I to assume you are referring to the project manager here ?.As long as it conforms to BS7671 then the above in not in the PDH remit eg the spec might say 20 watt LED and 15 watt is fitted is irrelevant.

He was basically the electrical guy for the company at the start. So he had a hand in all aspects, but his primary role was PDH. The company is newish to the electrical side in terms of keeping it in house and not subbed out.

It just bothers me as I have not been exposed to this sort of stuff before.

So you had a electrical project manager ,A PDH and the Q.S ? you keep on referring to ''he'' .

Is the company you work for, giving you the time, support etc or are they like some, paying lip service, and Ant will know what I'm talking about, to carry out QS duties, or is "He" just passing the buck onto your shoulders?

 

[cprfenom]

We had one of each, but the PDH did a little PM too. As some of the jobs we small scale he quoted and arranged installs too

Giving me time it seems, but their immediate problem is the assessment in 3 weeks time.

Yes I was that token gesture ,making s....t shine and polishing the t....d.

 

[Toneyz]

It shouldn't cost more to do it right first time. It's when you can't get the lads to do the basics because your M.D. not supporting you and not letting them do it right.

New DB board and updating of 2 addition DB boards

I will be honest with you with the information on the certificate & the work you have installed new DB boards & the guys on-site either could not be bothered to look or ask someone about the gas connection alone, also I take it the certificate has been passed over as a finished job then I think you might be in for a bumpy ride in three weeks time. not your work just that certificate & may be more like it.
you can have a s..t looking job but as long as the paperwork looks good & the results are pretty equal to the work carried then you would be okay.
I mean the new DB'S came from something surely even putting these figures in would be better than NV

 

[marc8]

just a suggestion if the company is new to this side of the works, look at maybe getting some help in on a temporary basis to go through with you & look at each certificate for the year, make an appointment with every job that looks like has problems with the certificate & get the results required, just a suggestion.

a way to do this would be that you are carrying out an internal audit of everything carried over last 12 months & would they mind if you made an appointment as their worked had been short listed for audit purposes.

 

[Toneyz]

Has this certificate been issued ?.

 

[marc8]

Has this certificate been issued ?.

yes what I was thinking if it has then probably going to be a revisit at least, if no might be alright.

 

[cprfenom]

The certificate was passed off the the O&M with the job considered completed. My boss is trying to say the limitations are justified as some access could not be had, but there is nothing in writing to back this up and I think the assessor will take a dim view of that.

We will see. All I can do is be prepared for the assessment as well as I can be so that he isn't immediately ----ed off

the problem is the limitations are not on the test certificate, we had a limitation on a test sheet but not recorded & was only minor but assessor wanted to know why not recorded & no details, that was for one limitation reading the certificate in the picture you might of needed a new sheet to get all that information on.

 

[Toneyz]

Even he/she would know that practically you can not isolate the who hospital to disconnect the main earth conductor to do a Ze. You never answered my question of are you undertaking the PDH job as well.

 

[cprfenom]

No. Just the Qs.

 

[Toneyz]

No. Just the Qs.

So are you overseeing these D.B. changes/addional new d.b's as Q.S.

would you not record the maximum for the stated type of supply, put this down in notes & then record your own results for the DB'S installed, if you cannot isolate supply that is ?
you could get ZDB for the installed boards
