Local Authority Building Control (LABC)

Local Authority Building Control (LABC) is a service provided by local government authorities responsible for ensuring building work complies with safety, planning, and building regulations. They inspect and approve projects such as new builds, extensions, or renovations to ensure structures are safe, energy-efficient, and suitable. LABC works to protect the public by preventing unsafe construction practices, and they often collaborate with architects, builders, and developers throughout a project. Their role is essential in maintaining standards across the built environment, promoting safety, quality, and legal compliance in construction activities.
