About Concept

Clear, professional
Building Control support.

A Registered Building Control Approver supporting residential and commercial projects across England.

01

Who we are

Building Control,
without the jargon.

Concept Building Control provides independent building control for residential and commercial projects across England. We are registered with the Building Safety Regulator as a Registered Building Control Approver, so clients can appoint us instead of their local authority to check that building work meets the Building Regulations.

We combine technical understanding with clear, practical communication, so that clients, designers and builders know what is needed at each stage, and why.

Our approach

Professional, responsive
and easy to deal with.

01

Early involvement

The best time to raise a Building Regulations question is while the design is still on paper. We encourage early conversations.

02

Clear communication

Plain explanations of what is required, when it is needed and the reasoning behind it.

03

Proportionate advice

Guidance that reflects the realities of the design, the budget and the programme.

04

Consistent standards

A careful, consistent approach to the Building Regulations, supported by ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management.

Who we work with

Support for everyone
involved in the build.

Building control runs best when the client, the designer and the builder share the same clear picture of what is needed.

Plain-English guidance on extensions, loft conversions and alterations, so you know what to expect before work starts.

02

Architects & designers

Technical conversations while the design is still taking shape, when changes are easiest to make.
