Building Control
For Building Control purposes Carlisle City
Council’s District is split into two areas with a team of
Building Control Surveyors assigned to each.
Carlisle City Council handles about 1,400 Building Control
submissions each year. It is also responsible for the removal of
dangerous structures, control of demolition, safety at sports
grounds, access for disabled persons, Carlisle Shopmobility and
street naming and numbering.
Carlisle City Council is dedicated to providing Architects,
Builders and Developers with the best possible Building Control
Service. We will do all we can to meet customer needs whilst still
ensuring that building work continues to satisfy National Building
Regulations.
Carlisle Building Control Surveyors have the technical
expertise, the local knowledge and the willingness to assist you to
overcome any Building Control problem that you may have. We will
also help to co-ordinate your applications with other Local
Authority services such as planning, highways, main drainage,
environmental health as well as the Fire Authority.
We encourage preliminary discussions on projects as this can
help to agree the design criteria at an early stage and therefore
avoid costly alterations to schemes that are well advanced.
