Design & approvals
We gather the certificates, test results and statements building control needs at the end of a project and submit them, so your building control body can consider issuing a completion or final certificate.
Building control must be told when work is complete. For work under the local authority, the completion notice now includes statements from the client, the principal designer and the principal contractor. Building control also expects results such as sound tests, air tests, ventilation airflow tests, commissioning records, the EPC and fire safety information, where they apply.
The local authority issues a completion certificate, a registered building control approver gives a final certificate, and for higher-risk buildings the Building Safety Regulator decides a completion certificate application (gateway 3). We start collecting evidence before the final inspection, so gaps show early.
Your written quotation confirms the exact scope, what is included and any limits for your building.
A completion evidence pack submitted with the completion notice, and a record of what was sent. The completion or final certificate itself is issued by your building control body if it is satisfied.
Sent as a PDF. We can send it to your building control body or agent on request.
Our reports and testing support the compliance process. Approval and completion decisions remain with your building control body: the local authority, a registered building control approver, or the Building Safety Regulator for higher-risk buildings.
Send what you have. Missing details will not stop an enquiry; we will tell you anything still needed.
The local authority issues a completion certificate, a registered building control approver gives a final certificate, and the Building Safety Regulator decides applications for higher-risk buildings.
It can. For building control applications made from 1 October 2026 for at least 10 new homes or 30 student bedspaces, the levy may apply, and a completion certificate can be withheld until it is paid.
No. We make sure the evidence is complete and submitted, but the decision rests with your building control body.
