About our building control service

The building control process checks that buildings are properly designed and constructed, in accordance with Building Regulations and associated legislation. This ensures the health, safety, welfare and convenience of people who use them.

We offer a professional and responsive building control service run by registered building inspectors. Our service is available to anyone who needs building regulations advice and approval, from small domestic extensions to large scale developments.  

Upon acceptance of your application we will allocate a building inspector to discuss your requirements and look at options such as fast-track or staged approvals and short-notice site inspections. 

Benefits of using our service include: 

• free pre-application advice – call us on 01454 868004
• competitive rates for building regulation applications
• applications can be made over the phone (in some circumstances), you may then be able to start work immediately subject to receipt of legal notices
• friendly, practical and expert advice
• ensuring high quality construction by providing independent checks at key stages of a building project

Our Customer Care Charter sets out how we operate our service fairly, timely and consistently. Our aim is promoting the safety, accessibility and sustainability of buildings. We also welcome feedback to help us monitor and improve our service.
