Building Control Regulations
Whatever type of building project you’re involved in, you need to make sure it’s compliant with building regulations and will stand up to scrutiny of planning inspectors.
Any failures to comply can delay builds, drive up costs and prove disastrous later if a completed build is found to have structural defects that make it unsafe.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re looking to extend or improve your current property, are building your dream home from the foundation, or are completing a commercial property development, you’ll have to meet strict building control rules.
That’s where we come in.

How does the building control process work?
Once your completed application has been approved by the local planning authority you’ll get an inspection service plan, which lays out the stages of the project that will need an inspection.
At each stage, you’ll need to inform the local council and planning authority when you reach an inspection stage, and also when the work has been completed so they can carry out a final inspection.
Once the final inspection has been completed, you’ll be issued a completion certificate.
Why you need building control
