"The building control you need to contact would be your local council building control. You can also look to hire a private building control as a second option.

Thanks,

"Joyce
The cost of building control is dependent on the works you're undertaking, however, I suggest if you have a contractor in place ask them to include dealing with the council as there may arise issues they can deal with much easier"

"Private Building inspectors are getting more popular now with Homeowners as they control the inspections from commencement to completion. A dedicated inspector is assigned to the project which aids with the building project moving along quickly without any hold-ups.
They are knowledgeable and have the same authority as council inspectors."
