Building Control and the Building Regulations

Building Control ensures that building work complies with the Building Regulations. These regulations are designed to make sure that people are safe in and about buildings; to help conserve energy and to give access and facilities for people with disabilities. Building Control Officers also deal with dangerous structures and control demolitions.
