Both West Devon Borough Council and Cornwall Council operate competent local Building Control teams. We’ve also worked with several Approved Inspectors who cover the area. The practical factors that influence the decision: inspection availability against the contractor’s programme, prior experience with the local authority, and any specific project complexity.

For most domestic projects either route delivers a similar outcome. We discuss the choice at the start of every project and align it with the wider build programme.

What matters most is that the route is chosen deliberately, not by default.
