Charges


The charges for our building control service are based upon the estimated cost of the works. For new developments, larger refurbishments and major fit-outs there are often items included in the overall cost that can be omitted for the purposes of building control. In addition, if your work involves internal alterations of floor layouts costing in excess of £100,000 the charge is likely to be reduced. Prior to making your application please contact either David Clements on tel 020 7332 1949 or Chris Elms on tel 020 7332 1954 to discuss the make up of the cost of work and to ascertain the resultant charge.

On 1 January 2004, we introduced charges to cover the approval and inspection work associated with Section 20 of the London Building Acts (Amendment) Act 1939. This control (over and above the Building Regulations) covers certain fire precautions in buildings of excess height or volume in the Inner London region. To recognise the overlap we will reduce the charge for applications that we are also dealing with under the Building Regulations. Please contact either David Clements on tel 020 7332 1949 or Chris Elms on tel 020 7332 1954 to ascertain the Section 20 charge appropriate to your application. These charges have since been amended with the revised charges coming into effect on 3 June 2006.
