Site Inspection


Various stages of work will need to be inspected by STG Building Control Surveyors.

We will respond to site inspection requests within 24 hours.

Any inspections booked before 10am may be carried out on that day, subject to staffing levels. However, we would appreciate as much notice as possible so that our surveyors can schedule their calls in the most effective and efficient way possible.

If possible please try and give one working day's notice prior to:

  • Commencement of the work
  • Excavation of foundations or trial holes
  • Foundation concrete
  • Damp proof course
  • Oversite (the hardcore materials before the top concrete surface is laid)
  • Drainage pipes prior to backfilling

And no more than five days notice after:

  • Drainage pipes test after backfilling
  • Occupation
  • Completion

Additional inspections

It would be advisable for us to check other elements of the building work, depending upon the type of project you are undertaking. If in doubt contact a member of the building control team for appropriate advice. The additional inspections you may need are:

  • Floor joists
  • Roof joists/plate level
  • Soil and vent pipe test
  • Steel and concrete support beams
  • Soakaway
  • Cesspool
  • Insulation
  • Partitioning
