Building Control
Building Control monitor work to ensure it meets safety requirements and is up to permitted standards.
Building Control provide guidance, checking and inspection under the Building Regulations so that anyone designing, building or changing a building, follows the guidance set out by the government.
As your local Building Control team, we will ensure compliance with the regulations by:
- Checking your proposals to help achieve compliance with building standards.
- Help with aspects of quality (workmanship and materials) where these affect compliance with building standards, but not where they do not affect compliance.
- Supporting and advising on how to end up with the result you want, but will not be a substitute for professional design and construction advice.
- Issuing decisions on plans, where required.
- Ensuring that all building standards which are set in the interests of the wider public good have been complied with at completion and issuing you with completion certificates when building work has been carried out correctly.
- Inspecting dangerous structures.
- Dealing with demolitions.
We also have a thorough local knowledge of ground conditions, levels of exposure to the elements and methods of build.
