You must register with BSR to carry out BSR-regulated activities (for example, assessing plans and inspecting). This includes for all buildings from domestic premises to complex, high-risk, multi-use structures.

Well publish one register of building inspectors for England, and one for Wales. You will be included on the registers for the countries you tell us you work in. The registers will include your name, your employer, and details of BSR-regulated activities you are registered to do. We will tell you in the application which details will be published.

Your registration will be valid for 4 years, unless varied, suspended or cancelled by BSR. If you register before 6 April 2024, the 4 years begin from 6 April 2024.
