Information required before a temporary works inspection
What to send so we can confirm scope, availability and fee quickly.
An inspection is only as useful as the information it is based on. Sending a small amount of context before the visit lets us confirm the scope precisely, quote accurately and arrive already familiar with the works — rather than spending the first hour of a site visit establishing what is on site and who is responsible for it.
Nothing on this list is mandatory. If information is missing or the records are incomplete, say so — that is often the reason an independent inspection is being commissioned in the first place, and gaps in available design information are themselves a finding worth reporting.
Send us the following where available
- Site name, address and postcode
- Preferred inspection date and access constraints
- Temporary works register extract or item list
- Available drawings, design notes and permit status
- Short description of concerns or required focus areas
- Photographs of current conditions where available
Practical notes
If the works are already installed and in use, photographs of the current condition are the single most useful thing you can send. They let us flag anything obviously urgent before we arrive.
Where the temporary works register is incomplete or the design information cannot be located, tell us at enquiry stage. We will scope the visit around what is actually available and record the information gaps as part of the report.
