Building Control Quality Service

The quality of service we offer is important. We try to offer a consistent quality service to all clients.

• Most building control officers hold a relevant qualification, which cover a wide range of disciplines including surveying, structural engineering, public health and fire engineering. There are many years of experience available to call on and regularly attend training courses to ensure that they are up to date with modern methods of construction. A multi-functional service is offered covering structures, fire precautions, services, drainage and where appropriate liaison with other council departments may be carried out to offer a team approach.
• A progressive approach to new materials and methods of construction is adopted to help you obtain the best possible value for money. We will consider all new methods and materials, based on our own experience and, if necessary, other expert advice.
• Maximum use of new technology is made and state of the art software to check engineer's calculations as well as other aspects of the proposed work such as heat loss from buildings and energy (SAP) ratings of new buildings may be utilised to ensure a speedy and accurate response.
• Extensive records on properties are maintained so that future owners can plan further works with confidence. This also means that prospective purchasers can ensure that work carried out in the past has been inspected and approved. This information can also be analysed to give prior warning of any potential problems particularly in relation to ground conditions.
• Close liaison is maintained with building control offices in other local authorities through the District Surveyors Association to share our experience and exchange knowledge and information on a national level.

We welcome and encourage our customers to give feedback.
