FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions our clients commonly ask

Gateway submissions and Building Control requirements vary by project. These answers explain how BCC can support clients and project teams at the relevant stage of their work.

  • For relevant higher risk building work, Gateway 2 is the stage at which the required Building Control approval application is submitted to the Building Safety Regulator before work can proceed, subject to the applicable statutory requirements. The information required will depend on the project and the agreed scope of support.

  • BCC can review the proposed application and supporting information to help identify omissions, inconsistencies and areas requiring further evidence. This can help the team establish what remains outstanding, who is responsible and whether the application is sufficiently developed to proceed.

  • Yes. BCC can provide a defined review of the design and supporting information within the agreed appointment scope, including Building Regulations assessment and technical coordination support.

  • The approved design needs to be translated into the work on site, and proposed changes need to be managed through the applicable regulatory and project procedures. BCC can support the assessment and classification of changes, and review relevant records and evidence where included in the appointment.

  • The project team must provide the information required for the regulator to assess the completion application. BCC can help review available completion information, identify outstanding evidence or compliance matters, and support coordination of the submission and handover information.
