We take great pride in the standard of service provided by our staff, who have a vast range of experience and professional expertise within individual technical fields.

Management and technical support

Members of our staff sit on British Standards Institution and other policy-making committees so that we can guarantee that we are at the forefront of current technical and legislative thinking. Our combined knowledge of the City, its properties and local conditions is of the very highest level.

Area teams 

For day to day building control purposes, the City is divided into three geographical areas, each of which has a multi disciplinary technical team, dealing in all aspects of Building Control and dangerous structures.

Each team comprises a team leader, four or five project surveyors specialising in fire safety and/or structural engineering and an engineer specialising in mechanical and electrical services.
