Building Regulations are standards for the design and construction of buildings to ensure the safety and health of the people who use those buildings. Traditionally, only inspectors from the local authority were authorised to undertake building control, however the Building Act 1984 opened up the market, allowing qualified companies in the private sector to fulfil this role in England and Wales. Wilkinson Construction Consult- ants are one of these companies known as Approved Inspectors and licensed by the Construction Industry Council. From inception through to completion, the team at Wilkinson Construc- tion Consultants are on hand at all times to ensure that clients receive the support they need to create a project they can take pride in. Once appointed, the firm will work with the client help ensure that the building work complies with Building Regulations throughout the process. Additionally, they will advise them on how the Building Regulations apply to their work, check their plans and, if required, issue a plans certificate. Throughout the project they will inspect the work as it progresses, and fi- nally, they will issue a final certificate, providing peace of mind for clients. It is this client focused approach, combined with its vast expertise in the market, that makes Wilkinson Construction Consultants the perfect partner for anyone undertaking a new-build or renovation project.
