Complete Building Control Solutions

Southern Building Control Partnership offers comprehensive services covering every aspect of building compliance. From your initial enquiry through to your final completion certificate, we’re with you every step of the way.

Initial Consultation & Plan Assessment
Every successful project starts with proper planning. Our inspectors review your proposals thoroughly, checking compliance with current building regulations before work begins. This early-stage scrutiny identifies potential issues when they’re easiest and cheapest to resolve. Working with our experienced professionals from the outset sets your project up for success.

Scheduled Site Inspections
Building regulations require inspections at specific stages of construction. Our inspectors visit your site at critical points – foundations, drainage, structural elements, fire safety installations, and more. Each inspection ensures work complies with regulations before the next phase begins. We schedule visits promptly, minimising any impact on your building programme.

Technical Support & Problem-Solving
Questions and challenges inevitably arise during construction. Perhaps your builder has encountered unexpected ground conditions, or you’re considering a design modification. Our specialists provide expert guidance when you need it, helping you navigate challenges whilst maintaining compliance.

Completion Certificates
Once your project finishes and passes all inspections, we issue your completion certificate. This crucial document proves your work complies with building regulations – essential for property sales, insurance, and your peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I definitely need building control for my project?
Most building work requires building control approval, including extensions, loft conversions, structural alterations, and new buildings. Some very minor works are exempt, but it’s always worth checking. Call us on 0330 024 9355 to discuss your specific project.

What’s the difference between you and local authority building control?
We provide the same statutory service as local authority building control but often with greater flexibility, faster response times, and more personalised service. Both routes are equally valid – the choice is yours.

Can I appoint you after work has already started?
Ideally, building control should be involved before work begins. However, we can sometimes assist with projects already underway. Contact us to discuss your situation – we’ll advise on the best way forward.

How long does the building control process take?
Plan checking typically takes 2-3 weeks, though we can offer faster services if needed. Inspection scheduling depends on your build programme – we work to your timeline wherever possible.

What if my work fails an inspection?
We’ll explain clearly what needs correcting and why. Our goal is helping you achieve compliance, not creating obstacles. Most issues are straightforward to resolve when identified promptly.
