Renovation translation: Building Control
Building control is the process that makes sure building work is safe and meets regulations.
When certain types of renovation work are carried out, especially structural changes, building control officers check that everything complies with building regulations.
They look at things like:
• structural safety• insulation• ventilation• fire safety• drainage
They usually visit at different stages of a project and sign off the work once it meets the required standards.
It’s separate from planning permission and focuses purely on safety and construction quality.
If you know the feeling you’re after but can’t quite pull it together, this is exactly what we work through in a designer half-day consultation.
