National First for Birmingham City Council

Birmingham City Council’s Local Authority Building Control (LABC) office, the largest of its kind in Europe, has become the very first LABC bureau to be awarded Chartered Building Consultancy status in the UK.

Local Authority Building Control is acknowledged as the UK's leading national building control service, maintaining the highest standards in building design and construction. LABC is a publicly accountable, independent building control provider.

Trevor Haynes, Head of Building Consultancy, Birmingham City Council, said “My colleagues and I are proud to become the very first Local Authority Building Control office in the UK to win this status. And we intend to promote ourselves in this capacity at every opportunity”

Chartered Building Companies and Consultancies (CBCs) are an integral part of the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and take chartered membership into a business perspective. An organisation of any size either a construction company or consultancy can become a CBC. These organisations must demonstrate that they manage their operations efficiently, employing and managing competent, trained staff and sub-contractors. All CBCs have comply with industry and safety regulations and 'Best Practice' and above all, deliver a first class service to their customers. Rigorous qualification requirements are in place for their executive directors or partners, who are expected to see to the continuous development of their staff at all levels. There are over 500 CBCs in the UK alone.

Jess Deacon CBC manager commented, “The LABC organisation is a natural alliance for CBCs. We intend that this greatly benefits both sides, and look forward to welcoming many more LABC offices around the country to CBC membership.”
