Building Control Bodies

Building Control Bodies (BCBs) are organizations responsible for ensuring that construction projects comply with building regulations and safety standards. They review plans, conduct inspections, and issue approvals for new buildings or renovations. Their goal is to protect public health, safety, and welfare by overseeing structural integrity, fire safety, energy efficiency, and accessibility. BCBs can be local authorities or private firms, and they play a crucial role in the construction process, helping to ensure that buildings are safe and fit for use.
