What is Photographic Evidence?
Under Part L of the Building Regulations, capturing photographic evidence at key construction stages is essential to demonstrate compliance with energy efficiency standards. This evidence provides a clear record of insulation installation, airtightness detailing, window and door fitting, and mechanical system setups before they are covered or completed. By documenting these critical elements, developers and builders can prove that the building meets the required thermal performance and energy efficiency standards, helping to avoid costly rework and ensuring full compliance with Part L. Photographic records also assist building control bodies and certifiers in verifying that all measures have been correctly implemented, supporting sustainable and energy-efficient construction practices.
SiteSnap AE
With our app SiteSnap AE, photographic evidence collation using your smart phone is made easy. No fuss, no admin, no guesswork, no problem.
Leveraging our expertise as SAP assessors and insights from clients, Award Energy has developed a streamlined app to simplify construction documentation. Site staff can capture images directly on-site or upload them from their device library, with each image automatically timestamped and geotagged. This process is repeated for all required sections, and once complete, a comprehensive PDF report can be generated and shared with the relevant recipients, ensuring efficient and accurate records. Progress can also be monitored using exportable spreadsheets, enabling site managers to efficiently track and manage project advancement.
Award Energy manages the entire administrative process, providing seamless support and guidance throughout. Our team is always available by phone to answer any questions, and we also offer a reviewer service to monitor the project as it progresses, identifying any potential issues early to ensure a smooth and compliant build.
