[QUOTE="RB2004, post: 294349, member: 8832"] Hi, probably was not an appointed building control officer no, it was just their building control department because you have done that work before, what would you advise? wire up the circuits, but leave floorboards loose... plasterboard is stud walls upstairs and the cables are run in inside the wall without chasing because its hollow so there would not be much to show there. at what point should I call them to send the electrician for first inspection? im hoping that if I do everything correct 2 visits would be enough 1 for inspection and 1 for testing... but because there is a requirement to connect everything up as the house is habited could I leave everything open and the electrician does both inspection and testing on same visit if everything is correct? I dont mind hiring test equipment and doing my own tests before powering up if the electrician wants that as proof that I havent connected up dangerous circuits.. he would have to retest them anyway for council benefit. if I show a good level of workmanship and level of understanding of the regulations..im guessing the electrician would scrutanise my work less and after seeing a sample of it satisfied the rest is correct... dont want to be destroying walls to show cable runs ideally when they dont need destroying to change the wires due to embedded conduit in the wall.
