Why use Building Control?

We provide:

• Pre-application advice on all building projects. We will give informal comments on proposed work.
  
• A choice of applications, Full Plans or Building Notice.
  
• Stage or conditional approvals so works on-site can progress as quickly as possible.
  
• A development team approach to give you quick and ready access to advice from a range of experts.
  
• Building Regulation applications. This involves checking plans to ensure they comply with Building Regulations and other Legislation and negotiating changes where necessary.
  
• Visits to building sites to check work under construction.
  
• Management of buildings and structures known to be in a dangerous condition.
  
• Management of the demolition of buildings.
  
• Management of improved access to buildings for people with disabilities.
  
• Impartial advice on all types of buildings and constructional problems, including those not subject to Building Regulation control. We may be able to suggest more economical ways of doing the work.
  
• A wealth of local knowledge, conditions and experience.
  
• Extensive historical information.
  
• Completion and Fire Safety Completion Certificates.
  
• Seminars on changes in legislation.
  
• Information on Greening Your Home

We cannot act as your own private surveyor, but if you appoint a builder or agent we will deal directly with them. This saves you time and effort by resolving problems quickly and efficiently.
