Additions &
Alterations
The Fee Multiplier as per New applies to work that is required to be inspected. Additions and Alterations work is on an algorithm that typically calls up 1 in 10 Certificates of Electrical Safety (CES) to be inspected, unless defect notice issued then a higher rate of inspection applies. A fee will apply for all CES forms that require an inspection.
