What construction stages should be inspected, as a minimum, for a one-off house?

A sample Inspection Plan for a one-off house comprises the following stages:

1. Design

2. Formation

3. Foundation

4. Ground Floor

5. Wall Plate Level

6. Roof Level

7. Completion

An Inspection Plan is dependent on many factors, including:

• building type and construction type

• construction method

• the seriousness of the consequences of a particular contravention

• the impracticability or impossibility of subsequent inspection of closed up work

• construction speed

• stakeholder experience and competency

Per the Code of Practice for Inspecting and Certifying Works 2016. A typical inspection schedule has been shown below:
