Building control – Stroud and Gloucester District

Building regulations set essential standards for safety, health, accessibility, and sustainability in construction across England and Wales.

Our Building Control team ensures these standards are met throughout the Stroud and Gloucester District. We provide a professional, responsive service led by experienced, qualified surveyors—supporting projects of all sizes, from home extensions to large-scale developments.

As of April 2024, the introduction of the Building Safety Regulator and Registered Building Inspectors has shifted the focus of building control. While we continue to provide expert guidance, the responsibility for compliance now lies with dutyholders—clients, designers, and contractors.
