The benefits of our service.

Using Approved Inspectors Ltd for your project will bring you many tangible and quantifiable benefits. Here are a few of them:

1) Solving your problems, and saving money

Approved Inspectors Ltd will work closely with you, your design team and your contractor at a very early stage to help avoid Building Regulations problems - saving time and money from the start. To enable us achieve this it is necessary that we receive an appointment at the early design stage of your project. Traditionally the building control body are consulted at a late stage in the design process, very often the design has been out to tender and a contractor appointed. Approved Inspectors Ltd can be available from the start of the project to work with the design team on developing the scheme.

Our staff will provide a proactive service to help find solutions to all your Building Regulation problems. We have a number of specialists including Chartered Structural Engineers, Chartered Building Surveyors, Fire Engineers and Chartered Building Services Engineers all who have worked in private consultancies as both regulators and designers. Our fees represent a very small part of the cost of your project we believe that by appointing us, at an early stage, it will be possible for you to save many times more than our fee in the overall project cost! We've seen this happen on many projects already.

2) Working with you, not against you

Approved Inspectors Ltd take a consultative approach to compliance. When involved at an early stage, Approved Inspectors Ltd are able to contribute to your project and suggest innovative technical solutions to problems. We are flexible and creative in meeting your development objectives. Our aim is to help you to achieve compliance with the Building Regulations.

We provide an integrated service, wherever you work in the country. Approved Inspectors Ltd can operate nationally meaning that the same surveyor or team will work with the same client wherever they are in the country - this is particularly useful for national, multi-site developers. We provide objective consistent advice no matter where your project is located. You can therefore be assured that subjective, self-opinionated and inconsistent advice will be imposed upon you. We pride ourselves on our consistency of interpretation of the Building Regulations - and consistency of fees!

You will therefore never have to fear that you will get one requirement imposed in one area and another elsewhere. We will explain what is required so that you understand what we will be looking for on future projects. In this way, we will also build a strong and effective working partnership with you.

3) Avoidance of Unnecessary Bureaucracy

Approved Inspectors Ltd are not bogged down in bureaucracy, we aim to provide proactive advice and recommendation and prevent problems arising. We recognise that your project be it a small house extension or a larger development is important to you and that you are important to us.

4) Qualified Advice
