ADDING EXPERTISE AND COMPETENCE TO YOUR TEAM
As a leading Building Control Consultancy, we work alongside some of the UK's top tier construction businesses.
We help them and their project partners navigate through the various stages of a construction project which require Building Control Consultancy expertise. We work on projects of all scales and complexities across the UK.
In particular, we offer services to clients operating in the HRB sector as part of Multi-Disciplinary Teams (MDT’s). We can offer support throughout, from initial concepts, through to Gateway 1 and Gateway 2 submissions, and can also offer on-going support and continuity during the construction phase to handover at Gateway 3.
Initial Project Concepts
Early engagement is something we encourage all our project partners to adopt – from initial feasibility studies through to concepts and draft designs. At this point our approach is to engage with the client and other project stakeholders to outline our role and remit. Define the scope of what we can and can’t offer and where we can potentially add value through our detailed knowledge of Building Regulations and their potential impact on the project and the envisaged timeframes. This advice could be both technical and commercially valuable but paramount will be the goal of putting the project on the right initial path to support compliance with the Building Regulations and enable sufficient detail for the project to make a successful Planning Gateway One application if required.
Design Phases
This is the stage at which a co-ordinated design really takes shape. Progressing on from a settled concept design, the project is drawn up more clearly in drawing form and developed alongside structural design, building services and a more informed costing exercise. At this point we would continue our engagement with the Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) / stakeholder group building on what we / they have learned, discussed previous stages. With progression in design there will likely be updated questions in terms of Building Regs. and some initial questions on structural engineering, fire engineering, access and energy and sustainability.
Gateway Submissions
Gateway submissions can be a complex process, but with BCC Consultancy, you can rest assured that your project is in good hands. From the review of the design we will offer advice and guidance regards the project and potential compliance against Building Regs. This may impact in terms of progressing to Gateway 2 - whether that can be taken forward or whether there may need to be a re-look at the technical and commercial side of the project. This could have significant impact on both timeframes and costings. The production of the Gateway 2 application will be evaluated. There may be elements identified at this stage which need to be updated in terms of specification, costing, resourcing and timeframes. Our expert team will work closely with you to prepare and submit all the necessary paperwork to ensure that your project meets all relevant regulations and standards.
Site Inspections and Audits
This is the stage where construction begins on site. At this point our approach is to remain engaged with the client and other project stakeholders to provide an oversight role with regards to the Building Control elements / requirements of the project. Our site inspections and audits are designed to ensure that all aspects of your project meet the highest standards of safety and compliance. We provide a comprehensive range of services, including risk assessment, safety critical inspections, quality control, and verification of compliance with relevant regulations and codes.
Build With Confidence
Think of BCC as your critical friend in this journey, committed to supporting compliance, safety, and excellence.
BCC is founded on the capabilities of our team. The team is here to ensure every step of your journey with us as your Building Control Consultant is supportive and proactive.
But we are often part of a bigger team. Together with other industry experts we offer a ‘Directory of Expertise’ which includes partnering with some leading players in: fire engineering; structural engineering; building safety cases; energy consultants and structural warranty provision.
