StMalo wins LABC accreditation

Protecting the public. Helping businesses.

LABC's mission is to ensure that buildings are healthy, safe, sustainable and
accessible for all users and tenants whether domestic, commercial or public service.



LABC coordinates the technical application of the Building Regulations and
influences new or revised regulations covering new technology, new building
methods and environmental performance. LABC also provides a national marketing
function to build awareness of local authority building control amongst the
public, developers, designers and contractors. In recent years local authority
building control teams have shifted the emphasis of their work from "tick
box" checking at the end of building projects to helping developers, designers
and builders to make the best choices when planning projects. This change of
emphasis achieves high quality building without annoying and expensive corrections
happening late in the construction phase.

The Ten Essential Functions of Building Control

• Encourage innovation to produce energy efficient and sustainable buildings


• Support local, regional and national businesses


• Educate and inform building professionals, contractors and trades people


• Defend vulnerable communities and householders


• Drive out dangerous cheats and rogue traders


• Safeguard the investments of individuals and companies


• Enhance access for disabled, sick, young and old people


• Protect the community from dangerous structures


• Provide life-saving advice to the emergency services


• Ensure sports grounds and public venues are safe for crowd
