Building Control Authorities

Building Control Authorities are official organizations or local government departments responsible for ensuring that building projects meet safety, legal, and quality standards. They review plans before construction begins, inspect work during construction, and verify that finished buildings comply with building regulations. Their role is to protect public safety, health, and the environment by ensuring structures are safe, energy-efficient, and suitable for purpose. Essentially, they oversee that construction adheres to the legal framework, helping to prevent unsafe or non-compliant buildings from being used.
