something a few of you might be interested in...
I was watching the original Part P tv advert on the NICEIC site earlier (yes I know, I was bored and should get out more
)
when I ended up at the following link:
http://www.communities.gov.uk/index.asp?id=1509043
which lets you download a riveting document entitled 'The Future of Building Control'.
I warn anyone with a weak heart its a roller-coaster of a read, with several plot twists and a classic cliffhanger at the end when the hero......
Oh, ok, I admit it, it's dull as hell, but what did you expect
Seems they are looking for feedback from 'stakeholders', whoever they are so might be useful to make sure that the electrical side is represented.
Only bit of 'interest' I could find it in was one of their suggestions:
Review and extend the use of Competent Persons Schemes
Following completion of the current review of Competent Persons Schemes, consider extending the approach to allow competent building contractors with a proven track record in specific areas, to self certify their work (works certified by Competent Persons are still subject to inspection and enforcement action by Building Control, but on an exceptions basis).
If you can't be bothered to download it, the email for comments is [email protected] - might be good to tell them what the reality of working with building control is, given some of the tales on here.
