At Salus, we are committed to offering the highest standard of building control and regulatory consultancy services. As part of our ongoing dedication to safety, compliance, and client satisfaction, we are proud to announce that Salus now boasts a high number of both Level 2 and Level 3 specialists within our Building Regulation Consultancy and Building Control Approver Services.
These highly qualified professionals play a critical role in ensuring that all projects, from standard buildings to high-risk, complex structures, are properly evaluated, inspected, and regulated in accordance with the latest industry requirements.
Level 2 Building Inspectors: Ensuring Compliance for Standard Projects
Our Level 2 Building Inspectors are qualified to work unsupervised on standard building types up to 18 meters in height. These professionals are equipped with the knowledge and expertise to:
- Evaluate building plans,
- Conduct site inspections,
- Advise on issuing completion certificates for standard buildings.
While Level 2 inspectors cannot work on non-standard or higher-risk buildings (HRBs), their skills ensure that all standard structures meet the necessary safety and compliance measures. To become a Level 2 specialist, one must typically hold a Level 6 qualification or equivalent vocational training.
Level 3 Building Inspectors: Mastering Complex and High-Risk Projects
At the highest tier of building control, our Level 3 Building Inspectors are certified to work unsupervised on all building types, including non-standard and high-risk buildings of any height. Their advanced qualifications allow them to:
- Assess complex building plans and structures,
- Work directly with clients, contractors, and regulatory bodies on intricate and high-rise projects,
- Implement and manage detailed inspection schedules for complex buildings.
Level 3 inspectors have the advanced skills necessary to handle a wide range of building types and offer expertise in both technical evaluations and project management. Their qualifications equip them to deliver the highest level of service on complex and high-rise buildings where safety and precision are paramount.
Key Differences Between Level 2 and Level 3 Inspectors
The primary distinctions between these two levels of building control expertise lie in the scope of projects and levels of complexity they can manage:
- Level 3 inspectors are capable of working on more complex, non-standard, and high-risk buildings than Level 2 inspectors.
- Level 3 specialists bring more advanced knowledge and experience, particularly in managing tall or complex structures.
- Level 3 professionals handle a broader range of building types and heights, offering more flexibility and versatility in their roles.
- Level 3 inspectors are expected to possess superior management and liaison skills, enabling them to effectively lead on challenging projects and liaise with multiple stakeholders.
