Thanks @recoveringbuilderand @ProDave, that’s helpful food for thought!

Thanks both! Can I ask why you wouldn’t ask JohnMo? And by safe access - we have concrete steps and a wee ramp thing that’s not got handrails - I guess we could put something on temporarily if we needed to, I’m just wondering if it’s worth doing it (and if it will entail a lot of hassle) or just waiting when we’re only 2-3 months away from being finished. We can fortunately stay with family so just weighing up whether this will just mean more work.

Hi there, we are nearing the end of our project and wondering whether we might be able to move in under temporary occupancy. The interior is basically finished and the main works to be completed are outside eg some groundworks, decking etc. - quite a bit to do outside and we are using concrete blocks as steps to enter / exit etc. We don’t have fully signed off electrics yet but kitchen, bathroom, stairs etc. are all in and functional. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether the above would be sufficient for temporary occupancy (in highland LA area if that helps)? I figured it would be a lesser standard than “complete” but not sure by how much.
