Before commissioning Air Tightness Testing, it is worth pausing long enough to gather the information that will shape the scope properly. Projects often lose time not because the service is complex, but because basic inputs are missing when the brief is issued.

What to have ready

Start with the proposed development details, relevant planning history, site constraints, target programme and any previous consultant reports. If the site is operational, access limitations and health and safety considerations should be clear from the outset. If there is a planning condition or regulator query, the exact wording should be included rather than paraphrased.

Why this helps

Well-prepared briefs create better outputs. The consultant can focus on the right risks, the project team gets clearer advice and the end result is more likely to support planning, design or construction decisions without a second round of clarification.

Even a short checklist improves consistency. It also makes it easier to compare options, manage fees and explain internally why Air Tightness Testing is being commissioned at this stage.

What happens next?

Pull together the proposed layout, planning wording, target dates and any legacy reports before commissioning the work.
