Building Control

Building Control is the process ensuring that new buildings or renovations meet legal safety, design, and construction standards. It involves inspecting plans and ongoing work to confirm compliance with regulations related to structural stability, fire safety, insulation, and accessibility. The goal is to protect occupants, the public, and the environment by preventing unsafe or substandard construction. Building Control can be carried out by local authorities or approved private inspectors, who issue necessary approvals or certificates before occupancy. Overall, it helps ensure that building projects are safe, legal, and fit for purpose.
