Do you have planning permission?
Please ensure you have planning permission in place before applying for your building work. Not all building work requires planning permission but it is always best to check first.
What type of application do you need?
Once you are in a position to proceed with your building work, there are three typical Building Control application types.
Full Plans application
First we will assess all your plans and ensure compliance with the regulations then arrange inspections once the build begins.
Building Notice application
This is useful for smaller works where all assessment takes place during the inspections.
Regularisation application
This is used when proper approval was not gained for completed building work. In this instance, you can retrospectively apply and we will inspect the works to verify everything has been completed correctly.
Fees
Our fees are competitive and fixed. This will provide you with certainty about the cost of your building project.
