DS1140 support on Sjælland

When several contractors supply records for one project, information can end up in different places. One party holds the drawings, another keeps the photos, and comments from the structural engineer may sit in an email thread. It then becomes difficult to identify which work the records cover and what is missing.

DS1140 support on Sjælland can begin by clarifying those deliverables. Which structural sections are involved? Who carried out the work? Which records already exist? We help bring those questions together before the submission is assembled.

A control plan needs to be usable by the people carrying out and following up the checks. It should reflect the project requirements and the stage of construction. A generic template is only a starting point. Specific checks, responsible people and recording requirements need to be agreed for the work package.

Send the current plan with the relevant drawings and specifications. We can then discuss where the scope needs clarification and how records should relate to the work. Changes to the project also need to be reflected in its documentation.

A photo is most useful when it can be connected to a location, a date and the relevant check. This matters particularly when the work will later be concealed. Records should follow a shared structure so that finding evidence does not depend on who saved it.

For projects on Sjælland, we discuss the documentation process using the project address and the work required. The location alone does not establish whether attendance is necessary. Tell us what needs checking, how far construction has progressed and which deadlines apply.

If you have received comments on a control report, send the report and the original feedback together. Rewriting a document may not resolve the underlying issue. The link between a requirement and its supporting evidence may be missing.

We can help organise the comments and identify missing information. A check that did not take place cannot be replaced by a later statement claiming that everything was inspected. The appropriate next step depends on the actual circumstances and the people responsible for the project.

This page is for projects on Sjælland (Zealand) outside Copenhagen, for example in Roskilde, Køge, Hillerød, Helsingør, Næstved and Slagelse, or elsewhere on the island. Include the town and address in your enquiry. Projects in Københavns Kommune have their own page on DS1140 in Copenhagen.

There is no separate DS1140 rulebook for each town. The building case is handled by the municipality where the project is, but the structures, documentation and agreed controls determine the task. Our office is in Odense, and we have consultants on Sjælland.

Describe your role and provide the site address on Sjælland. Include current drawings, the control plan and any comments on documents already submitted. Tell us which work is complete and which activities have not started.

This gives us a basis for discussing a defined task rather than beginning with a general review of everything. You may need help with a plan, report organisation or gaps before the next submission. Pricing and timing depend on the agreed scope.

Prepare a register of the files you submit and identify the part of the project each file concerns. Where several contractors contribute, use names that distinguish their work packages. This helps the recipient see whether an attachment is missing or stored elsewhere. A revised submission should also identify what changed since the previous version. Keep the original feedback alongside the new documents so the review history remains understandable and the team does not need to guess which comments have been addressed.
