Building control

The building control service carries out inspections to make sure that building works meet safety standards.

 

Nearly all building works and changes of use require Building Regulations Approval.  These regulations set out the minimum standards of safety to safeguard the interests of the intended occupiers of buildings, future purchasers and the community as a whole.

 

Building control makes regular inspections during construction to make sure construction work is carried out in accordance with the Regulations.
