Residential Due Diligence on Building Regulations

@mustafaa81

I've read through your brief carefully, and this is exactly the kind of project I work on. An incomplete extension, retrospective permission already granted, construction stalled for a year, I know what that checklist looks like. I'm a Mechanical Design Engineer and Project Consultant based in London, ASHRAE Member, PEC Licensed, with hands-on experience across residential compliance projects in the UK. Crucially, I'm also in a position to bring in a local, experienced building surveyor for the physical site assessment, someone who knows UK council processes well and has dealt with retrospective planning scenarios before. How I'd approach this: 1- Review all retrospective planning documents and confirm council sign-off status 2- Verify whether a council inspection was carried out post-permission and document its outcome 3- Assess structural soundness of the incomplete works for safe resumption 4- Check fire safety compliance against current Part B regulations for the incomplete build 5- Evaluate energy efficiency against Part L requirements and flag gaps Being London-based matters here. I can coordinate the site visit directly, which cuts time and avoids miscommunication between a remote consultant and an on-ground inspector. I'm happy to share relevant project samples and certifications on request. Mustafa Amjad Mechanical Design Engineer | ASHRAE Member | Project Consultant | PEC License
