Local Authority Building Control has over a hundred years experience in dealing with the interpretation and implementation of Building Regulations and associated matters. We have access to extensive historical records and our local knowledge is second to none.
We promote and encourage the use of the Local Authority National Type Approval Confederation (LANTAC) scheme providing you with a quick and easy route through the Building Regulation plan approval procedure. Details are available upon request.
Qualified Building Control Professionals are available to advise you on technical matters and Building Regulation interpretation throughout the day.
