Building Control

Our Building Control services are provided by Hertfordshire Building Control Limited (HBC). 

HBC was set up in 2016 to provide quality Local Authority Building Control services in seven of Hertfordshire’s 10 districts and boroughs, which own it. We have become its eighth member.

Hertfordshire Building Control ensures quality buildings and adds value for customers and communities by leading the compliance process. It helps to protect the interests of property owners by ensuring that architects and builders operate in compliance with building regulations. It does this in a consultative way to ensure that each project runs as smoothly as possible.

To streamline the process, applications can be submitted online via the Hertfordshire Building Control website or through the Planning Portal.
