Benefits of this scheme

  • Helping to simplify and speed up the building process generating substantial savings in time and money
  • A dedicated professional building control surveyor from the preferred local authority offers pre-application advice on all projects no matter where they are in the country
  • The pre-application advice approach ensures that any issues can be resolved early in the design process and will eliminate the need for expensive corrections later in the construction phase
  • The single point of contact provided through this scheme results in a consistent approach to plan appraisal
  • Any local conditions, site-specific information and necessary consultations are investigated on behalf of the client
  • Site inspections will be carried out by your local authority Building Control Team benefiting from local knowledge and contacts
  • In summary, the client benefits from a single point of contact, consistent approach, improved pre-application service and still benefits from local knowledge, excellent liaison with other services such as Fire, Police and Environmental Health

We do not recommend or endorse any individuals, organisations or businesses for any specialism. These partners are registered with Cumberland Council through the LABC Partnership Scheme and work closely with our Building Control Team. We do not hold a preferred contractors or suppliers list either.
