Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone can shed a bit of light on this for me.
I'm a fully qualified electrician, and have been for a lot of years and all my qualifications are up to date. Technically I work for the local council but we have since been privatized and now I work for a big corporation...
So yesterday I was wiring the communal areas in a block of flats that im doing and the building control officer pops his head in with the site agent. Concrete ceilings that's having a MF suspended ceiling underneath so we are using bang in cable tie bases.......Building control officer pipes up...
We've just installed a new 3-phase PV system onto a rebuilt community centre, where the pan is to bring in a new 3-phase supply. The new supply has been delayed, and the clients want to get the building up and running.
We can easily use a single phase conversion kit in the DB to provide power...

I use electronic certs to register my works using click software and buy certs on the niceic website, do I still have to register this work with building control? thought this was covered, and it was only alterations to existing I had to register, please tell...

I recently completed my quals and am looking to register with NIC so I can notify and certify my own work.

Hi Guys , Haven't posted for a while. I carry out commercial, industrial Electrical works mainly & on occasions I have carried out Domestic Rewires, probably 1 or 2 a Year. I usually submit relevant certs etc through Building Control of at least 2 Council Authorities without a problem,pay around...
If you have missed a certificate that you were supposed to have submitted online with NIC and so it is now over the 30 days by quiet a bit will you get any kind of come back on it if you just submit it now? or should you re test and submit within date range? thanks
I have a loft conversion to wire next week, and the local building control have asked for a wiring diagram before starting work. The work is just a few sockets and lights.
Is this a common request - this is the first time I've come across having to provide this in advance? The customer is...
Just wondering how building control notification is sorted.
Currently, we carry out all works ourselves. Therefore building control is no issue.
But what if the electrics was subbed out? The electrician would then be responsible for notifying his electrics but how is Part A satisfied...
just after a bit of info on how building control works, the situation is, went to look at a job where a 3rd story extension as been built, customer as sacked the builder and taking legal action against them for going over the time limit they said it would take and that the original electrician...
I am looking to join a body (probably NICEIC as most commonly known).
As you know, one of the requirements is to offer 2 jobs for inspection. My parents need a new CU and a friend needs a run of new sockets in his garage. Iv offered to do these but on researching it seems I may still...
I've just come to the end of a large domestic re-wire and I'm using it for my NAPIT inspection. The problem I have is that the builders I am working for need it signed off 'NOW'! by building control, but my inspection isn't for a couple of weeks yet. Is it acceptable to complete the Electrical...
Hi can someone tell me if this is right.

I did my Part P qualification 6 years back, so the certificate expired a year ago. Been doing wirepatching for years but decided to do a Part P, semi retire and earn a bit doing ad hoc work. No chance once I realised what insurance, test gear, calibration, and registration would cost. Did a...

"anyone carrying out work on a domestic property that would be subject to Part P regs has to notify Building Control by some means. A contractor registered with one of the government-approved schemes can issue a Building Regulation Compliance Certificate to both the householder and Building...
Hi
I'm doing a rewire on a house and before I started I spoke to building control and they told me that the owner is to include the electrics on the building control application.
Anyways I have finished the upstairs and no inspector has been round to look at the electrics and the owner has now...
Is there a way to find out if a job has been notified/pending to building control eg.online or is the only way to wait for the actual certificate to be posted to the customer cheers
