Building Control
In 1985, under the Building Act 1984, NHBC set up a subsidiary company (NHBC Building Control Services Ltd) and became the first private sector building control body licensed as an Approved Inspector for the purpose of verifying that buildings are built in accordance with the building regulations across England and Wales. It is the largest single Approved Inspector in England and Wales (inspecting around 50% or all new-build properties in the UK) and assists builders to achieve compliance and advises on Building Regulations for schemes ranging from residential developments to large commercial and mixed use sites.
