Securing fire safety for your home and businesses is our top priority. Our team of trained staff is equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to thoroughly assess and mitigate risks at your location. We understand that life safety is an issue that cannot be taken lightly, which is why we conduct regular site inspections and engage in detailed plan checking to ensure all preventative measures have been taken. Our government licensed practices ensure that we have a thorough understanding of fire safety regulations and can create a custom plan that fits your unique needs. You can trust us to provide the utmost attention to detail when it comes to protecting your property from fire hazards.
Energy Conservation
New dwellings require SAP calculations. Extensions with large amounts of glazing may also require a SAP calculation to ensure compliance.
Energy Performance Certificates are required for new dwellings at end of works and air tightness tests will usually be required as part of ensuring energy efficiency for these projects.
Planning may often ask for additional items under ‘optional requirements’.
Building Control Surveyors Ltd can help advise you on any of these matters or refer you to one of our listed consultants at no fee.
Access for the disabled
Access and facilities for the disabled need to be considered; a level entrance is usually required for new houses, together with a toilet on the entrance storey (door opening outwards), additional ‘optional requirement’ covered under your planning conditions.
Acoustics
Acoustic testing is required for all new dwellings.
Structure
Often structural calculations are required in support of the design – for steel beams in lofts or over openings, or for unusual foundations etc.
