Remote Verification Inspections - Building Standards Inspection

29 May 2020

By following Scottish Government guidance to help protect everyone from the spread of COVID-19 our on-site Building Standards service is presently suspended. However, to support the local construction industry, and to ensure the occupation of new dwellings or small non-domestic buildings is not prevented by the current restrictions, we are encouraging the use of Remote Verification Inspection (RVI) as an alternative to on-site verification inspection.

Web accessible guidance for Remote Verification Inspections is available in PDF format from the 'Related Downloads' section of this page.
