Once the work is complete

Each duty holder involved in the construction phase must provide compliance declarations to Building Control to confirm that:

  • they have fulfilled their duties
  • to the best of their knowledge, the works comply with the Building Regulations

A final inspection should be arranged when duty holders are satisfied that the works are complete and comply with the building regulations. All necessary commissioning certificates and test results should be submitted as soon as practicable to Building Control.

Notice of Completion

You must provide a Notice of Completion to the local authority Building Control service no more than 5 days after the work has been completed.

The Notice of Completion requires each duty holder to provide a compliance statement for their responsible work.

You can find requirements of duty holders and their competence in Part 2A of the Building Regulations 2010 (as amended).

You can download a copy of the Notice of Completion form to fill in below.
