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.

Famous quotes containing the words building and/or control:
“Culture is a sham if it is only a sort of Gothic front put on an iron building—like Tower Bridge—or a classical front put on a steel frame—like the Daily Telegraph building in Fleet Street. Culture, if it is to be a real thing and a holy thing, must be the product of what we actually do for a living—not something added, like sugar on a pill.”
—Eric Gill (1882–1940)
“Physical nature lies at our feet shackled with a hundred chains. What of the control of human nature? Do not point to the triumphs of psychiatry, social services or the war against crime. Domination of human nature can only mean the domination of every man by himself.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
