The Importance Of Constructional Certification The sense of security provided to potential
tenants/buyers alone is a worthwhile outcome, as uncertified properties can
naturally be harder to sell. These checks identify any possible errors that may
have took place during the construction process, ensuring the building is safe.

discuss the importance of constructional certification. For more, call us in Norfolk on 01263 587047 .

get a foothold in the construction industry to go for this certificate. Being a
certificate holder also opens up the additional opportunity of being able to
become a member of the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management
(IIRSM).The Health and Safety Management for Construction qualification can

Also, certification is ideal for a range of people, such as:
Site technicians with health and safety responsibility Construction site managers Construction safety advisors
Building Completion Certificate This certificate serves as proof that a building has been
completes in line with regulation and is therefore safe for inhabitants. This
specific form of certification was first introduces in the late 1980s, however
if work had been done over 12 months prior, this certification was rarely a
consideration.
In 2012 however, amendments where made regarding
this form of certification, namely removing the requirement to formally request
a completion certificate in favour of a local authority verifying the work
on-site. This added efficiency to the process as it could be boxed of as and
when the work is completed. As well as this, the amendments added the
requirement of certificate provision within 8 weeks of the work being completed.Lawful Development In order to avoid any questioning of whether the building
project has been lawfully permitted, a development certificate may be
requested. In any case possessing such certificate is a wise move In order to ensure
any such interference does not crop up, as well as being a potentially useful
tool when negotiating the sale of said property further down the line.
Applications for certification may be made through the local
planning authority , and applications should include required information
for an accurate conclusion to be made regarding the lawfulness of the project. An
application fee payable will be required for the planning authority to which
applications are made.
