When it comes to building or renovating your home, ensuring that every aspect of the project is compliant with local regulations is not just important—it’s a legal requirement. At W Maggs Construction, we understand that navigating the complexities of building control can be overwhelming. That’s why we take care of everything for you, ensuring that your project passes inspection and meets all necessary safety standards.
What is Building Control?
Building control is a critical part of any construction project, whether it’s a new build, extension, or renovation. It ensures that your home or building is constructed safely, adheres to local building codes, and complies with relevant regulations. Local or private building control inspectors review the work at various stages of the project to ensure that it meets the standards for safety, sustainability, and functionality.
Having a building control inspection process in place ensures that the work is done correctly and helps prevent costly errors or delays. Failure to meet building control standards can result in fines or being unable to sell the property, so having this covered from the start is essential.
Our Approach to Building Control
At W Maggs Construction, we ensure that building control inspections are an integrated part of the project management process. From start to finish, we handle all the paperwork, inspections, and approvals necessary to keep the process smooth and stress-free.
Here’s how we manage building control every step of the way:
1. Submitting Plans and Documents for Approval
Before the work even begins, we submit your project plans to building control. This includes structural calculations from engineers and details about the materials we will use. We ensure that the initial design aligns with local codes and regulations to prevent any issues later in the process.
2. On-Site Inspections
As the work progresses, building control inspections are carried out at various stages to ensure everything meets the required standards. We will coordinate the schedule for the inspectors, meet with them on-site, and provide them with all the information they need to make their assessments.
We take full responsibility for arranging the inspections and ensuring they are completed without delays. If any adjustments are needed, we work quickly to resolve any issues and keep the project moving forward.
3. Comprehensive Documentation
We handle all the necessary paperwork associated with building control approvals. From submitting inspection reports to completing final certifications, our team ensures that every document is accurately filed and submitted in a timely manner.
We believe in transparency, and we’ll keep you informed at every stage of the process. If any documents or reports are required, you can count on us to ensure everything is in order.
4. Expert Guidance Through the Approval Process
Building control regulations can sometimes seem complicated, with specific codes and technical requirements that may not be immediately obvious. As experienced builders and project managers, we guide you through the process and explain any technical terms or regulations.
We’re always available to answer questions and resolve any concerns, making sure you feel confident that every part of your project is up to code.
5. Final Sign-Off
Once the project is complete, and all inspections have been carried out, we will arrange for the final sign-off by the building control inspector. This is the final step to confirm that the work complies with building regulations and is safe for occupancy.
After receiving approval, you’ll have the necessary documentation to show that the work was completed to the highest standards—whether for your own peace of mind, or for future buyers if you plan to sell your property.
