Do you get value for money from the Building Control service?
The Borough Council employs experienced and professional Building Control Officers to deal with your application, who between them have a wealth of local knowledge. Our officers spend a considerable amount of time checking your plans, advising on how to comply with the Regulations and, in particular, carrying out regular site inspection visits.
Remember that the charge is fixed no matter how difficult your application may be to deal with and covers you for as many inspection visits as the Building Control Officer feels necessary - be that 1 or 100.
We are easy to contact, give expert advice and respond the same day to your requests for a visit - few other organisations can offer that degree of service. If you compare our charges with those of calling out a professional surveyor just once or twice, we think you will agree that they are, in fact, more reasonable than they at first appear.
