LABC Partnering: The way forward
Nationally LABC has more than 1500 successful national partnerships with construction companies and professional advisers.
LABC partnering enables companies or advisers to 'partner' with their preferred Local Authority. Your organisation can choose to have a national or regional link to LABC. This will provide you with a single point of contact to ensure all your projects are regulatory compliant.
In each individual area, site inspections will be carried out by the Local Authority in close liaison with your Partner Authority. With a Building Control Surveyor dedicated to your team every time, you can guarantee certainty and consistency across all aspects of design including pre-application advice, plans examination and all the necessary consultations, including the Fire Service. For companies that build or design nationwide, partnering can help to simplify and speed up the approval process.
There is no additional charge to use this service and there is no contract so you can still use another building control body for any projects for example where you client requests a particular Authority /Approved Inspector be used.

LABC National Type Approval Scheme
National Type Approval is seen as an effective building control service by the construction industry and government and has become a normal route to obtaining building regulation approval by many companies.
A developer can arrange to have standard house designs examined for compliance with the Building Regulations just once, and under the procedures of the scheme this approval is accepted by all other local authorities in England and Wales without any further checking except for site related matters.
The scheme also applies to commercial or industrial units and buildings, and System Approval for those companies and organisations which use standard details and methods of construction for use in a variety of building designs.
