Building standards site inspections, what they are and how to book.
During your building project, you will need to request a number of site inspections for us to check the progress of the work. Please book your site inspection at least 2 days in advance.

Construction Compliance Notification Plans (CCNPs)
A CCNP is attached to your building warrant. It includes a summary of the key stages of the project that need to be inspected. The number of key inspection stages in a CCNP depends on the complexity of the project.
You should book a site inspection when each of the stages is completed. The responsibility for booking site visits rests with you and your builder.
What we inspect
The things we look at when we carry out your inspection depend on the type of work that you're carrying out. They will include:
- the foundations
- the floors
- the drains
- any structural steelwork
- the wall construction
- damp proofing
- how the roof is constructed
- how it's insulated
- the electrics
You must follow your CCNP and book your site inspections before you apply for a completion certificate for building work.
