Building control Covid-19 screening questions

Covid-19 virus site inspection Screening Questions:

Physical site visits:

Where we do carry out a physical site visit we want to make sure that we are taking every precaution to ensure we all stay safe. We continue to follow the guidelines offered by the Government and any local guidelines introduced by our employer, Dartford Borough Council. Our surveyors will adhere to the guidance around social distancing, including not shaking hands and maintaining a distance of two metres from you.

Please check that you have read the questions below and are able to answer ‘No’ to each of them. If you are unable to answer ‘No’ to any of these questions, we ask that you contact us to postpone our visit and talk to your surveyor, as it may be possible to approve stages of work via an alternative route such as WhatsApp, Facetime, Microsoft or the submission of photos or videos.

This is a fast-moving situation and inspections may need to be postponed or cancelled at short notice.
