We have a client who is looking to convert a existing property into a children's home and has gained i think it is c2 planning , I believe it has been used as a bit of a communal living space in the past so does have some emergency lighting and a bit of a fire alarm system already so I am told ?
My client wants a full test and report on the place before he starts any mod's , now although both myself and my other director hold all the certs necessary and are both qualifying managers with the ECA for another company and are also both registered as the competent persons with a relevant scam provider we generally get another independent contractor to come in after our lads have tested and go through it again , just for total piece of mind and transparency !
The thing is , ( And Hi Martin if you are reading this ! ) he has told our client it was not worth testing as it would need a total rewire anyway , to be in line with part M ( Think I got it right for the disabled one ? ) and to go and check with the council to see what is actually required .
My client has said just test it anyway and we will see ! Now I would rather not send somebody on a job that is not worth doing in the first place all be we will get paid for it either way , but thats not the point !
What do others think to the need for a total rewire ?
I will unfortunately be away from the Internet for a few days as from the morning as going back down to Bucks .
Thanks Dave
