Building Control
Our dedicated team of Building Control Surveyors are crucial to shaping Telford’s continued growth and development. Working closely with major developers and leading on some of the region’s most high profile projects, our specialists ensure that every new building and place is safe, inclusive, and fully compliant with statutory building standards. Their expertise not only safeguards our communities and the environment but also enables the delivery of high quality, innovative developments that fuel Telford’s economic strength and create vibrant spaces for people to live, work, and visit.
We are equally committed to developing talent and supporting rewarding career pathways. As an active host of LABC apprentices, we nurture future professionals while offering exposure to a wide range of exciting and complex applications — from the delivery of a new theatre and modern school facilities to large scale residential and commercial schemes.
Our team also responds to dangerous structures, working collaboratively with planners to apply the right legislation and take a holistic approach to public safety. In addition, we oversee Safety at Sports Grounds responsibilities, working in partnership with key stakeholders — including the football club and emergency services — to ensure safe, compliant, and well managed venues.
Life as part of the Building Control team is full of reward and challenges as we bring to life the plans and development of our Borough.
