Aspect certificates slow down completion

What trips up appointed competent persons before the building certifier gets the paperwork.

  • Same competent person details every job

    Name, company, licence, and postal address should carry over when you inspect the same trade on the next job.

  • Long narrative blocks on a flat PDF

    Basis, extent, and reference documentation are hard to fill cleanly on a phone PDF viewer.

  • Certifiers expect the PDF in order

    Generic PDF editors do not match the Building Regulation 2021 Form 12 field order.
