Why become a Partner?

Through the LABC national Partner Authority Scheme (PAS) we can offer a tailored, one-to-one Building Regulations plan checking and approval service to you for any building projects throughout England and Wales.

You will achieve consistency of interpretation of the Building Regulations and have a dedicated point of contact within one of our multi-disciplinary teams. Site inspections will be carried out by the local authority in whose area the work is situated, giving you the added benefit of a sustainable local inspection service.

  • A dedicated Building Control Partnership client manager, acting as your point of contact for all projects submitted under the PAS who will provide support throughout the life of a project
  • Provides you with a single point of contact for Building Regulations pre-submission advice and plan examination, on any project in England and Wales
  • Free and very simple process to register as a Partner
  • Non-exclusive – Partnering gives you the option to use other building control services
  • Flexible Partner working – at your offices, at your client’s office, on site, at our office
  • Applications are always checked within 15 days of submission. (As we prefer to be involved in projects as early as possible, the formal part of the process is often quicker)
  • Electronic consultation and submission available as required
  • Our plan checking charges are very competitive and negotiable
  • Access to detailed local knowledge on matters such as contamination, local ground conditions, demolition, public sewers
  • Technical support is always available.
