Does building control design and construct. No they don't. But what they will do is inspect all wiring at 1st fix stage. Inspect at 2nd fix and look at certificates and then and only then sign it off and issue a building compliance certificate. A QS at a large company would normally be the chief...

I can assure you that I do not cut corners. The job in question will have input and supervision by me. I work to a high standard and within standards. You are correct that it is interesting how a post develops. The majority of questions on here can get away from the actual query in the first...

Yes. I do appologise for the incoherence and lack os detail and what may appear to some as arrogance. I am somewhat despondent with the industry at the moment having to shell out for this and that. When part P came out I wrongly thought great, at last, they are starting to sort the industry out...

Like I said. Fully decorated, grandfatherclocks,carpets,hardboard, Lino tiles(stuck) and tong and groove flooring, dwarf Walls, furniture floor too cieling. Two issues. We wired for kitchen refit. Finished job. Tested and cert. Client employed tiler who removed sockets and nicked neutral when...

I have reported to BC. One man does the job. Cannot cope with workload. Also works direct for council doing maintenance. Good man. Know him. Not physically possible. Niceic. Not interested. Contacts electrician work gets put right somehow. Never get response. I got reported once by...

Yeah. Sorry your right. But you know what I mean. If I could make a living at making bread I would

Thankyou manator. I live in a part of the country where it's hard to make a crust. Steptoe?????? Have you ever reported someone!!!!!! I have...... Lots of times.... Absolutely nothing happens. So why bother. No ones interested. Unless there's a fatality or fire or something...

Thankyou steptoe. The answer is yes and they know I would not sign it off. They know I am a jobsworth unfortunately. And they would have to rip it out if I were not happy. We all do it to some degree

Sorry chaps. I gota agree and disagree with alot of the comments and feel that I have started something that has a lot of views, wrongly or rightly. I strongly feel THAT, if you are willing to accept that the Installation complies and you are willing to take responsibility then sign it off...

Correct me if I am wrong. Does it matter who signs off or notifies. As long as the work is to standards and tested and complies with BC. The person who signs it off is the one where the buck stops and the one that is responsible

Why use scams certs. Any cert will do. Make up your own if you want so long as all the information requested in BRB is included. I argued this point with nic on assessment day and he conceded. I wasn't gonna pay their extortionate rates for a bit of paper

Insurance could be an issue if anything went crash bandicoo and I don't like doing this. How many of you have not. These are hard times for everyone and we have too help each other out. That's the way I see it. Havnt been called scraggy for years

Maybe I didn't explain very well. Doing this on my phone doesn't help. Technically I am not a QS on the same firm. Old boy gets paid for rewire and I get paid for testing and paperwork. Two separate entities if you like. I'm basically helping him getting job signed off. Trust him implicably...

Scenario. Elderly sparks rewires a flat. Is not part P and not 17th but been doing it all he's life. Work is to a high standard and if in doubt will ask. If I oversee the job and sign it off on a 3 part EIC. Myself doing the insp and test. In effect doing the job of building control. I know a...

Extending any circuit does not make it less safe. Rcd protection. It's either mandatory or not. Would you sign it off. Very ambiguous this rcd stuff. Amendments or not IEE regs need to clarify this. I for one would not be happy for the BRB to leave this decision down to installer. It's open...

Wot about!!!!!!!!!!! leaving circuit disconected at c/u leaving in the MCB. Fill out paperwork with descriptioins and tests etc etc. Leaving that particular way as spare and leave it up to client to do what they like. I think we are trying too hard to find a way out of this.. Any resonable...

OH Well..What about NICEIC hepline. Rules and regulations are for the blind obediance of fools and the guidence of wise men. Can you usre this is a court of law??????

What about instructing him. Getting him to sign a bit of paper to say he has been instructed about RCD's, nails, srews, people working in house etc etc. All in compliance with BS 7671. JOB DONE

Appreciate the replies. Just wondering if anyone out there uses or has used them to say "rubish, stay clear" or "yes, have had some work out of them". Dont like spending hard earned on scams, so if I have not heard anything positive tonight I will decline. Cheers
