Supporting our customers through the Building Control Application Process.

Application Support Services

With the introduction of the Building Safety Act, marking the most significant update to building regulations in 40 years, we recognise the complexity and challenges involved in building control applications. Our team of experienced fire safety experts are here to guide and support you throughout this critical process. We ensure that your applications are not only completed with care but also address the vital role of passive fire protection, safeguarding the integrity and safety of your buildings in the event of a fire.

The Building Safety Act now requires accountable individuals to demonstrate that they have effective and proportionate measures in place to manage building safety risks, particularly in higher-risk buildings. The Building Safety Regulator (BSR), overseen by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), is responsible for enforcing these regulations. For higher-risk buildings (HRBs), a building control application must be submitted to the BSR for approval at Gateway Two before any construction work can begin. This ensures that all safety standards are met right from the start.
