Build variation latitude post BC application approval.

[epsilonGreedy]

How much flexibility is there in the BC inspection process for varying construction specifics mid-build and hence after initial submission of building control drawings?

 

Some specifics examples that could apply in my case:

 

1. Switching from roof trusses to a cut roof.
2. Switching from a basic beam and block floor to a more elaborate insulated floor design using inter beam insulation blocks.
3. Raising dpc by two bricks.
4. Eliminate the hallway and drop the stairs directly into the sitting room (bit of a stretch case this one  ).

Easy enough, but you do need to refer back to the BCO (not the building inspector, usually) and provide additional information to show that the modifications meet building regs.  Main issues are like to be Part A, Part B and Part M.
