The partnership scheme

Over 600 major developers, architects, consultants, contractors and house builders are now partnered with Local Authority Building Control.

What does the scheme offer?

The scheme gives partner companies a one-to-one relationship with ourselves for the plan approval aspect of all construction projects, irrespective of location. It also provides an effective means of communication between the local authority where the project is to be built (the inspecting authority) and the partner company.

We provide professional advice to our partner company during the design stage, after liaison with the inspecting authority whose local knowledge can often prove invaluable.

Having assessed the plans for a particular project we issue a decision advice notice leading to the automatic building regulations approval by the inspecting authority. This eliminates, at a stroke, any perceived inconsistency, bringing a greater degree of consistency to the designer and the client.
