The team
Our team is experienced and appropriately qualified. All staff undergo training every year to allow them to continue with their professional development and to ensure that they have the necessary skills and up to date knowledge to provide a high quality service to our clients and the general public.
Our surveyors generally work within specified areas of the district. This allows them to become very familiar with their particular area and build up a unique knowledge relating to matters such as site history and ground conditions.
Our services
Operating in accordance with the Building Act 1984, we are legally responsible for the administration and enforcement of building regulations. These are standards in safety, health, energy conservation, and access to buildings for disabled people either at home, at work or at leisure. Our officers provide a service which is both independent and impartial.
