Discuss EICR & the greedy Architect in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net

Get onto the company he works for, or find out the body he's a part of e.g chartered ??, if he's part of a chartered institute they will look into it if you want to take it to that
 
rent the house off owner move in get electricuted then sue his architect --- off LOL! think i may have asked for a site meeting with client!
ive give up reasoning with some customers like this? hope you get paid for what you done deep down something just dont seam right maybe best out of it.
 
seem to remember the DNO can refuse to supply a dangerous install.
if you stand by your eicr ( and crumbly lead sound about as bad as it gets) ring the dno and ask for an intervention.
that should get the clients attention eh? no power and big dont use label.

had similar couple years back.
tested 6 bed, 3 floor victorian house. passed (just) but told owner (read 'slum landlord') no additions or alterations and get a rewire.
also put down 3 monthly retest. yes, 3 monthly.
couple months later, local council rang. he'd put in for house of multiple occupancy. saying I had said place was ok.
Told the council no way, forwarded copy of my certificate.
found out he'd been shut down by council and fined and now got council on his back big time.

so try the council and the dno.
worth a couple of phone calls and might just bugger the architect up a bit.
