Building Control

The role of Building Control has changed over the recent years. The Building Control Department has a responsibility to protect people and the environment; and ensure equal access for all, irrespective of physical ability.

Just as the Building Regulations have changed over the years so our approach has also changed. Although the role of District Councils is to enforce Building Regulations, Building Control personnel now see their function to pro-actively give support and advice to ensure that developers can meet their obligations under the Building Regulations. Todays Building Control service is often involved from the conceptual stage of a project, so that expert opinion on Building Regulation matters is incorporated at the outset. Designers consider this to be one of the most important aspects of the service.

The Building Control Departments are there to serve you. Do not hesitate to contact us T: 9446 3113 for advice on your project.
