Building Control
The aim of Bedford Building Control is to provide a safe and
healthy built environment at home and at work for you - our
customer.
Our goals
- To offer the best professional service provided
by quality inspectors who are impartial and take pride in
delivering an essential service at optimum value for money
- To make applying for Building Regulations for
your work as simple as possible.
- To help you ensure that work carried out meets
the standard required by the Building Regulations
- To respond quickly when problems arise and help
provide sensible solutions
To achieve the above we offer
- Advice before you make your application
- Straightforward application forms and
procedures
- Same day inspection service if notified by
10am
- To give help and advice on meeting
- Regulation requirements as work proceeds
- To review charges to ensure they are kept as low
as possible
- To provide a completion certificate at no
additional cost after inspection showing satisfactory completion of
the work. Most lenders will require sight of this document
when a mortgage is being raised on the property.
Bedford Borough Council aims to provide a
quality Building Control service and give Best Value. You can help
by letting us know when the work is ready for inspection and when
inspection of the completed work can be carried out. This will help
us to keep costs to a minimum and to provide the service when it is
most effective in helping you avoid building problems.
Our aim is to continually improve the service and your suggestions
would be welcomed.
