I dont know is any of you have been following the goings on with the new building control regulations which were signed off last week and will come into effect on 1st march 2014

here they are

Firstly they apply to all new buildings and extensions over 40 sq m.

These regulations require a building contractor to be named prior to commencement.
This building contractor must sign a certificate before and after works stating that they, or a competent person provided by them, oversaw the works and sign a certificate based on ancillary certificates of sub contractors.

So thats where you come in.

were you aware of how this may impact you?
Do you intend providing certification for your work?
If so, do you intend on becoming indemnified professionally?

It can only be a good thing in the long run, improving standards for the homeowner & ensuring the "professional" takes ownership of their works.
I certainly will be registering.
