Nothing more you can do now. Take the night off.

Good luck

 

[mark da spark]

Looks like your all ready. As Mark c said relax & take the night off.
We had ours with NAPIT yesterday.
We were a bit like you stressing about it but in the end its nothing to worry about.
We sailed through with no non conformities. The assessor was really helpful too.
As long as your QMS is in place your 90% there.

Good luck.

Good luck!

 

[smiffy_99_uk]

Congratulations!! Sounds like you did really well with no non conformities. Did you write your QMS yourselves or did you get a company or did a course with templates etc.?

 

[smiffy_99_uk]

Oh and how long did he spend with you? Iv heard its nearly all day with paper work and 20mins at the job?

 

[mark da spark]

Thanks smiffy_99_uk. So glad we passed.
Just need some work now!
We got our qms through a company but even at that we still had a lot to alter on it. Napit did sent us a template about two weeks ago which would have been a struggle to write it ourselves in that time.
Who are you getting assessed by, napit, Nic, elecsa?

 

[mark da spark]

About 4 hours in office going through QMS. Spent about 15 mins looking at install.

 

[smiffy_99_uk]

The NICEIC are coming ! as if once a year wasnt enough!! Iv been working on ours until 2am all week and spent so long doing it I just hope its what they are looking for, I would love to have a template but the niceic dont offer one as they want to sell you a course on it. How are you doing for Jobs are you advertising, Website etc ? were doing a bit of both, going to be a bit embarrassing if tomorrow doesnt go well.

 

[mark da spark]

Now 2 annual inspections to look forward too! And not to forget the real assurance audit which we'll probably get in the next couple of weeks.
We've been getting alot of quotes through our normal electrical work, rewires, extensions, loft conversions etc.
We were worrying about having our advertising & website ready, then not getting our MCS would have been a nightmare.
Where are you based? We are in Manchester/Stockport.
You'll be fine, hope it all goes well...

 

[smiffy_99_uk]

Hang on... Audit?? I thought you just pay them £150 and they bugger off unless you break the rules.
We're down in Oxfordshire got a website and got a couple of jobs through friends of friends, Put an ad in the local rag and got a couple of jobs to price (see how it goes). Hoping to see a bit of return soon, spent aa fortune on this so far as im sure you have. Thanks for your advice and if oges well il let you know how we got on, cheers, Tom

 

[mark da spark]

Found that out on the forum here. They make sure that we are operating to the consumer code!
We have a few friends lined up too. One starting next week. Some money coming in at last!!
I reckon it'll be a good few months until we can get a wage out of it. Need to keep the cash flow in place.
Keep us posted & speak soon.
Cheers, Mark

Well done - you made me smile with the 2am finishes we had a week of them in October! It's a bit like passing your driving test now you've got the basics you just need the experience and cashflow. Don't be demoralised if you don't get the first few sales look on them as essential post certification training - we did. If you do get loads of work watch your cashflow very carefully it can stop you in your tracks if you look away for 5 mins.

Good luck

 

[mark da spark]

Nice one. Glad it all went well for you...

I had my mcs today and didnt do as well as you guys, im lacking in the qms and what is a system to idenify to regulation changes. And is there any free software that I can use for the SAP calculations that I have to provide to the customer. I also have to do the hand over pack as i had never seen 1 I think it will be straight forward but any examples copies for me to adpat would be most appreicated.
Thanks all on this forum anyways for all the help
