STAGE 7 - Building work (or conversion) is complete

The Relevant Person (usually the building owner) must complete, sign and submit a Completion Certificate Submission Form to the local authority building standards service.
 

Reasonable Inquiry

Reasonable Inquiry refers to the approach taken by your local authority building standards service to verify that the building work complies with the approved plans and building regulations.

Verification checks throughout construction will normally include inspections although other methods can be used to check for compliance with the building regulations, for example photographs.

The verifier may require certificates or other documentation for materials or aspects of work. The verifier may also require tests to be carried out. Inspections are not normally needed in relation to work covered by a Certificate from an Approved Certifier of Construction.

An Approved Certifier may not be able to cover the type of work you are planning to undertake. In these circumstances it is recommended that you use the services of someone who has the professional skills and experience relevant to the work, for example an installer having current membership of an accredited registration scheme operated by a recognised trade body of professional body.
