Welcome to Building Control
 

Here you are able to find out about building regulations, what to do if you wish to build an extension to your property or even if you have a dangerous building that needs to be taken down.

Mid Suffolk Building Control aims to provide a friendly, efficient, helpful, accessible and value for money service orientated to the needs of our customers. We are part of the building team and are always available to advise and assist owners, developers, builders and agents.

The district is divided into six building control areas with an individual surveyor responsible for each one.

Our Building Control surveyors are always willing to advise at an early stage and give pre-application guidance on proposed schemes. Early consultation is likely to be beneficial for all. The Building Control Manager also has responsibility for disability access issues and is pleased to offer advice on this to local organisations and businesses. A Building Control surveyor is normally available to provide advice and assistance throughout the working day.

Mid Suffolk Building Control has gained BM TRADA registration as a Quality Assured Service to ISO 9001-2000, which provides an independent endorsement of the quality of our service.
