Partner agents, architects and house builders

All our partners have entered into the Local Authority Building Control (LABC) Partnership Scheme. Through this arrangement, we provide the plan checking service for approval of applications for work being carried out anywhere in England. The local authority Building Control team in your area will provide the site inspections for your project.

Agents, architects and house builders interested in knowing more about this Partnership Scheme should email building.control@west-lindsey.gov.uk or can register at LABC Partnership Scheme.

Companies registered with West Lindsey in the scheme

Benefits of this scheme include:

• helping to simplify and speed up the building process generating substantial savings in time and money
• a dedicated professional building control surveyor from the preferred local authority becomes part of the design team to offer advice on all projects, no matter where they are in the country
• the design team approach ensures that any issues can be resolved early in the design process, and will eliminate the need for expensive corrections later in the constructions phase
• the single point of contact provided through this scheme results in a consistent approach to plan appraisal
• any local conditions, site-specific information and necessary consultations are investigated on behalf of the client
• site inspections will be carried out by your Local Authority Building Control Office benefiting from local knowledge and contacts

In summary, the client benefits from a single point of contact, a consistent approach and an improved application service. While still benefitting from local knowledge and excellent liaisons with other services (such as fire, police and environmental health).
