Building Control Consultancy
Nationwide Building Control consultancy and project management support for residential, commercial and mixed-use developments. We help coordinate the Building Control process, manage project information and liaise with the appointed Registered Building Control Approver, Local Authority or relevant regulatory body.
Building Control Consultancy and Management
Navigating the Building Control process can involve several parties, technical submissions, inspections, consultations and formal declarations. One Stop Consult helps clients manage this process by coordinating information and maintaining clear communication between the project team and the appointed Building Control provider.
Our role is to support developers, contractors, architects, homeowners and other dutyholders from the early design stages through to construction and project completion.
We can assist with the appointment process, submission of technical information, plan-review queries, inspection coordination, design changes, supporting certification and outstanding completion matters.
Building Control Project Support
Our consultancy service helps clients manage the administrative, technical and communication requirements associated with the Building Control process.

We review the proposed works, available drawings and project requirements to help establish an appropriate route forward.

We coordinate drawings, structural information, energy calculations, fire information and other supporting documents.
Plan Review Coordination
Assessment queries can be distributed to the appropriate designer, consultant or contractor and tracked through to response.
Inspection Management
We coordinate requests for inspections with the appointed Building Control provider and help communicate the required inspection stages.
Completion Support
We help collate test certificates, commissioning records, photographs, declarations and other completion information.
Supporting the Golden Thread of Information
Our bespoke project portal provides a central location for storing and managing important project information throughout design and construction.
This helps stakeholders access current documents, monitor design changes and maintain a clearer record of the information used to support the development.

Early coordination can reduce delays, unexpected technical issues and missing information later in the development.
