Pre Installation Building Inspection Checklist

by A Burrows, from the Community

10+

Use this Pre Installation Building Inspection checklist to survey residential properties before insulation or solar PV works. Record access and parking, confirm ability to handle materials safely, and check for hazards including asbestos, electrical cables, vermin, protected wildlife, and aggressive behavior. Capture site details for cavity and loft insulation, roof and flat roof condition, scaffolding and MEWP needs, noise and vibration, electricity requirements, housekeeping, and signage. For solar PV, note planning constraints, roof area, inverter and meter locations, cable routes, isolation, and board capacity.

Property Insulation and Solar PV Survey Checklist
This pre-installation survey checklist helps installers evaluate access, site hazards, and readiness for cavity and loft insulation and solar PV works. It covers parking and access restrictions, housekeeping, signage, neighbor access, and public walkway risks. Safety prompts include asbestos checks, PPE, confined spaces, working at height, MEWP or scaffold needs, vibration and noise, manual handling, and electrical isolation. It also records wildlife and vermin evidence, protected species considerations, and planning constraints. Solar PV sections verify roof area, inverter and meter locations, cabling routes, spare breakers, and warranty status before work proceeds.

Property Insulation and Solar PV Site Survey
Use this comprehensive site survey checklist to evaluate access and general conditions, parking and proximity, and potential hazards such as asbestos, vermin, or aggressive behavior. Capture details for cavity and loft insulation, including PPE in confined spaces and asbestos due diligence. Assess requirements for Solar PV installations, from roof area suitability and inverter and meter locations to cabling routes, spare breaker availability, isolation, and scaffolding. Document needs for MEWPs, towers, ladders, manual handling, housekeeping, signage, and neighbor access. Record wildlife or protected species considerations, public walkway risks, and distances from vehicle to property to ensure safe, compliant installation planning.

PV Survey Checklist
Conduct a complete PV survey before installation. This checklist covers property and planning details, roof and loft condition, orientation and shading, available roof area and obstructions, proposed panel layout and output, inverter placement and DC isolation, AC isolation and generation meter location, cable routes, electrical board capacity and earthing, and scaffolding and access needs. Use it to verify feasibility, safety, and compliance for domestic or commercial solar projects.

Solar PV Installation Survey Checklist
This Solar PV installation survey checklist helps assess properties for solar panel projects. It covers access restrictions, parking and material handling, and potential hazards such as asbestos or wildlife. Evaluate planning considerations, roof area and condition, inclination and orientation, and shading. Plan inverter and generation meter locations, DC and supply cabling routes, main supply isolation, spare breakers, and scaffolding requirements. Capture system size, module and inverter selections, proposed grid connection, distances to consumer unit, and earth bonding. Record electricity costs and annual usage to estimate performance. Inspect internal roof structure including rafters, purlins, and centers, note if loft is boarded, add notes and images, and capture digital signatures.
