For most commercial building projects, the first step is a practical review of the available drawings, schedules and design information. These documents help the assessor understand the building classification, envelope, glazing, construction systems and relevant building services.
The documentation does not always need to be final before an initial review begins. It does, however, need to be clear enough to identify the building, the proposed work and the likely energy-efficiency compliance pathway.
The more useful question is therefore:
Which documents are needed now, and which details must be confirmed before the Section J Report can be finalised?
