Pre-submission advice

Whether you are a building owner, contractor or professional advisor working within the industry, we aim to work with you to help deliver a building that meets the standards of health, safety and quality required by the building regulations, on time and within budget.

We offer free pre-submission advice on proposals that you plan to submit to us. Our building control officers are highly qualified and experienced with extensive local knowledge, as well as vast experience of materials and construction methods, which will assist you at all stages of the construction process.

We also have easy access to information from other council services, such as planning, highways, environmental health and also external agencies such as utility companies.

We always welcomed early pre-submission discussions on any project. This often results in design improvements, cost savings and the elimination of any unnecessary delays.

Should you wish to discuss a project, it can be more advantageous to arrange a appointment. This will allow our officers to offer you quality time to discuss your proposals.
