Rebuild blocks across Castle Hill often slope, and a sloping block usually means piers or stepped footings to reach consistent ground. The commonest problem we meet is timing: concrete already in the holes before anyone has measured them, at which point depth and steel can only be taken on trust.

Your structural engineer, based on the geotechnical report. We check the work against that drawing.
The principal certifier may inspect footings as a critical stage. Our inspection is for you and reports workmanship in more detail.
