Building Control

Castlereagh is one of the most progressive Borough's in the Province, providing a high level of amenities for the increase in population and boasting the lowest rates in the Province.

It has therefore become a desirable place to live for commuters as it has good modern access routes leading in all directions and excellent retailing facilities.

Growth in the Borough is due to a wide range of new developments, alterations and improvements, ranging from major retail developments to roof space conversions.

The aim of the Building Control Service is to deliver a customer orientated quality service to architects, designers, developers, builders, solicitors and the general public, and as such ensure a safer and healthier built environment for all.

The Building Control Service unit manager is Gordon Bratten.

He is supported by the Senior Building Control Officer - Colin Duff, four full time Building Control Officers and two full time and one part time administrative staff.

Building Control Officers will provide assistance and advice on any Building Regulation matter. If you give the correct notices and keep in regular contact, you will avoid the difficulties associated with contraventions of the regulations.

As well as enforcing the application of The Building Regulations, the Building Control Service has a responsibility for Street Naming, Dangerous Buildings legislation, Energy Performance of Buildings Legislation, assisting with the processing of Property Certificates, and the provision of other technical advice to the Council.
