I’ve got my napit assessment coming up soon and I’m a little bit concerned on the whole paperwork certificate side of things…
Being completely honest I’ve carried out works which are notifiable without notifying them because let’s be honest it’s ridiculously expensive to do so with building control and I would never get any work. I have tested them, I haven’t just swung stuff in, ran away and hoped for the best.
But I’m just a little worried about if the assessor is going to pull me on if I’ve notified the works to building control or not. Especially the job I’m bringing them to, it’s a rewire I completed around August last year which is a family member’s house. I was there the other day and double checked and everything is spot on. Only a minor thing which I’ll try get sorted but is in no way dangerous, a mini trunking in the utility room has 2 end caps missing, you can only just about touch the outer sheathing of t&e that’s all.
The sales guy on the phone made it seem like I’ll be fine and was trying to get me in quick it seems but I feel like I’ve been stitched up lol. On the paperwork side of things he said to me all I need to do is fill out the blanks on some RAMS, invoice, health and safety policy, estimate and complaints sheet with me and my company details. He also said the assessor will call me before the assessment to discuss things with me.
This week the lady booking the assessment said I need to have all the stuff on the checklist and the assessor might not call me before as most of them don’t. On the checklist it says
Am I over thinking things? I can’t imagine that everyone registered with them and that they’ve assessed has notified building control and has all this paperwork for it?

| Copies of Issued Certificates Note: Evidence of notification will also be sought where applicable |
| List of Building Regulations Notifications for work done within the last 12 months |
