Local Authority Building Control Partner Scheme

The Building Control Service has created a number of external partnerships with Architects and companies who regularly use our service. This means that we can provide our partners with advice and guidance through the plan check process on all Building Regulation submissions, no matter where the location in the country. For companies that build or design nationwide, partnering can help to simplify and speed up the approval process, maintaining a consistent approach to interpretation of the Building Regulations.

The scheme includes:

• a fast track approach

• consistency

• pre-application advice

• a single point of contact to ensure all projects are regulatory compliant

• plan examination and all the necessary consultations, including the Fire Service

Subsequent site inspection work will be carried out by the Local Authority where the construction works take place, maintaining benefits of local knowledge through the construction stage.

If you would like to discuss any aspect of the Partner Authority Scheme, please telephone Mirelle Brownlee 01642 528207 for further details. Please see below for a list of all Stockton Borough Council LABC approved partners:
