The Building Control service exists to ensure that buildings are designed and constructed in accordance with the Building Regulations & Associated Legislation.

These are the standards:
- safeguard the health and safety of persons in and around the buildings;
- conserve energy through insulation, and control usage;
- provide access and facilities for disabled persons.
