About BRCS
The Building Regulation Consultancy Service operated successfully in the private sector for over ten years, acknowledged as one of the leading established practices in this specialist area of consultancy work.
BRCS (Building Control) Limited was formed in 1996 to respond to the challenging opportunity legislation now provides for Corporate Approved Inspectors to practise in the private sector. The local authority monopoly was thus removed.
BRCS believes in the pursuit of excellence in the delivery of its services based on a commitment to the satisfaction of the clients needs. Acting as your Building Control Body we would endeavour to become a true and trusted member of the design and construction team, linking with partnership arrangements that may be in place
The agreed values and strategic principles that guide our work are;
- Care of the Customer
- A Quality Service
- Accessibility/Flexibility
- Effectiveness
- Efficiency
The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (previously the DETR) produced a joint publication ‘Building Control Performance Standards’ for adoption by all Building Control Bodies. BRCS will, as a minimum, adopt these standards. Where appropriate, improvements to this level of service will be offered to the benefit of the client. The mechanisms laid down within this documentation represent our formal policy for the provision of our building control service, ensuring performance is monitored and quality levels are achieved.

- Highly profitable company, financially secure
