Building Control
Brent’s Building Control Team (in the Planning and
Regeneration service) supports its many customers (home
and business owners, agents, contractors and developers)
in creating safe, sustainable, efficient and accessible
buildings. Working collaboratively with clients the team
can provide you with expert guidance on Building
Regulations compliance; whether your project is small
residential, large commercial, an alteration/ extension,
or new-build, or a wholesale regeneration scheme.

borough-wide knowledge of ground conditions and
drainage arrangements and unique access to historic
building records. Our surveyors offer proactive, practical help
