With the recent liquidation of PWC Build Control, many developers, contractors, and homeowners may be facing uncertainty about the future of their projects. At Hertfordshire Building Control (HBC), we want to reassure everyone impacted that we are here to provide seamless support and continuity. Our experienced and highly skilled team is ready to help your building projects progress smoothly and safely, without unnecessary delays.

Taking Over Building Control Functions: We’ve Got You Covered

As PWC Build Control can no longer operate, the responsibility for overseeing building control functions for affected projects in Hertfordshire automatically transfers to us—HBC, your local authority building control provider. Our well-established systems are already in place to handle this transition smoothly.

We understand that changes like this can cause concern, but our team is ready to step in and help you maintain momentum, whether you’re working on a small domestic build or a large-scale development. We’re here to support you, to keep your project compliant and on track.

Local Expertise and a Highly Competent Team

At Hertfordshire Building Control, we pride ourselves on offering unparalleled local expertise. We have an in-depth understanding of site conditions, drainage systems, and regional construction challenges, allowing us to tailor our services to meet the specific needs of each project.

Our inspectors are registered as competent professionals, meaning you’ll have peace of mind knowing your project is being handled by industry experts. Our award-winning team is committed to delivering high-quality service that meets the rigorous demands of modern construction standards.

Award-Winning Service with Competitive Pricing

HBC has earned recognition within the industry for our outstanding service and commitment to compliance. Our award-winning team is known for ensuring projects are not only safe and compliant but also executed efficiently.

Despite our accolades, we maintain competitive pricing to offer our clients the best value for their investment. We understand the importance of balancing quality with cost-effectiveness, and we strive to provide solutions that are both affordable and of the highest standard.

In light of recent industry developments, where several approved inspectors have unfortunately gone into administration or no longer operating due to other circumstances, we want to assure you of our stability. As a representative of 8 local authorities, we are financially secure and well-positioned to provide long-term, reliable service.
