So, you invest huge amounts of time, effort and hard-earned cash. You sweat blood, shed tears, and spend sleepless nights fretting over endless details and decisions. Finally, you subject your dream creation to umpteen tests and inspections so as to qualify for the Holy Grail that is a building regs completion certificate. And then you get it, and it is the singularly least impressive looking document imaginable. Mrs NSS said we should frame it and put it on a wall when it arrived, but then it did arrive and it'll be lucky to be pinned up with a fridge magnet - to the back of the fridge!

Now, now ?

Folk who are currently jumping through hoops whilst bent over backwards would kill for one, even if it did look like a dog license. 

You could always send it off and have it made into wallpaper for a nice feature wall ??

 

Better to travel than to arrive. 

Well, sounds like you need to start all over again.

For all its tattiness it is a significant milestone, you can claim the VAT back for a start also, I am sure, someone on here will be happy to design a 'buildhub' completion certificate that you can be proud of after all the adulation of your peers will be much more valuable won't it.

Lol. Love the wallpaper idea. We could have a load made and send it to all the arsehole neighbours as a peace offering

Do a Tom Sawyer. 

 

"Yes I have got one and it is so precious it is in the safe, so unfortunately you can't see it."

 

Then charge a pint per view. Paid beforehand.
