NAPIT Certification Scheme working without Niceic /napit

[RG electrical]

I notice that fully qualified sparks are starting to rebel against being mothered and bled by these organisations .....
Have any of you guys got advice for dealing directly with building control ?
I really cant see why I should pay one of these organisations to go over my work when I'm fully qualified with AM2 and inspection and testing !!!!

If and I say IF you live and work in one LABC area, it would be worth writing to them, but if you are like me and are on the border of 4 or 5 its too much hassle to contemplate.....

 

[RG electrical]

Well if 3 out of 5 are OK with the quals, I've still got to get scheme membership for the other 2 LABC's!

I can't afford to allow LABC areas dictate where I can and can't work, and hence why the membership is a must for me.

That said, I can't wait to pick the brains of the numbskulls of Elecsa 7 NICEIC at Elex at Sandown next week!!!!!!!!!!!!

I recently did some work for a customer who happened to work for a LABC, and we got chatting about Part P, and the costs of notifying direct. It turns out this particular LABC has set the fee at around £400 to discourage anyone notifying direct, they just don't want to know, as they don't have the resource to deal with it. But they are obliged to accept such direct notifications, so the thinking was set the fee as high as they can reasonably get away with, and hope that deters most people. Apparently they have had just one notification in the last year (if I recall correctly).

Not sure how this helps you decide what to do ...
