Prepare detailed compliance documentation and provide consultancy services – Produce comprehensive inspection reports, compliance certificates, and regulatory approval documentation, maintain accurate records ensuring traceability and compliance with local authority requirements, and assist clients with Building Regulations consultancy advice where SOCOTEC is not acting as the Registered Building Control Approver.

To be a successful Building Inspector, you should be able to demonstrate: Professional qualification and regulatory registration at senior level – Hold membership of RICS, CABE or equivalent (or be qualified by suitable experience), ensure CPD requirements are met to broaden and develop skills, and demonstrate compliance through registration as an RBI at an appropriate level (3G/3H).
