The notes
Exactly as they are on the site.
Notifying work, and the Competent Person Scheme
To notify work you either join a Competent Person Scheme — in your own right or through the company you work for — or you do not join one and pay building control to do it instead.
Third-party inspection, and why it is not easy money
A registered inspector can be brought in as a third party to inspect and certify someone else's work. The question to sit with: would you?
The problem with work you did not watch go in
A cable has been run through a wall that needed chasing. Was the chase cut to the right depth? Is the cable the right type for that chase? Does it have the correct mechanical protection? The wall has been filled and skimmed. You cannot see any of it. Your tests may come back perfect and your inspection at each end may be fine — and you still would not know.
