Project: The Edge

An eco housing development on the Lincolnshire Showground was developed by Gusto Group.  18 homes were built in phase 1 and phase 2 sees another 11 being built.



"West Lindsey Building Control were an integral part of the construction process.  We are building with non standard systems and materials in order to create these passive solar homes with high levels of energy efficiency and building performance.  The officers experience and advice was invaluable and we would recommend them without hesitation to any scale of project." - Steff Wright of Gusto Construction

Project: Bridge Inn - Saxilby

This project consisted of the conversion of a former public house into a dwelling and 12 retirement apartments



"This is the latest of a number of successful collaborations between ourselves and West Lindsey Building Control and we look forward to working with them on a range of exciting future projects.  We valued the breadth of knowledge the local authority had to offer" - Jon Cook, Gelder Group
