ELECSA Certification Scheme Screwed over by builder - elecsa assessment - what do you reckon?

[sjm]

Builders, got to love them haven't you? lol

 

[keniff]

yeah fair play, iv had it where builders do everything to make it hard for you, like tack both sides of a wall or tack the ceilings before you get your cables in, that sort of thing nothing a claw hammer doesnt fix though lol.

Hi Rocker i had my NICEIC inspection last week (23rd) and i always go back to the jobs that i plan to take him to, just to make sure everything is 100% but i asked him about this and i said would it be better if didnt and we could see what happens in the real world lol. so next year i am just going to take him back to jobs to see what we find as the NIC guy said to me the certificate is just a snapshot of how it was when you left it, what happen after that is nothing to do with you. i realy wouldnt worry and just explain you called in and the customer has told you what the builder has done. hope this helps

To support your "position" do you have any photo's taken before and after the changes?

Sounds like you're in a difficult position, good luck tomorrow.

Any jobs i ever do at the end of the day i go round and take pictures of everything, so i know its my work. If someone comes in after me i have proof that i didnt do the work or changes. and its back up incase i ever land up in court for somones elses shoddy work. I think if you had done that on this job then you would beable to argue your case better to the inspector. But i hope things turn out right for you. It ----es me off that other tradesmen dont care about any one else.

It is Alan yes - I've had him before and he is a cool guy, just hope he's cool enough lol. I'm always a gibbering wreck for a few days before my assessment though!
