What complete building control does

Complete Building Control Ltd (CBC) is a UK-based Registered Building Control Approver (RBCA), regulated by the Building Safety Regulator within the Health and Safety Executive. Founded and led by Managing Director Melap Singh, the firm delivers statutory building control services — plan examination, risk-based site inspections, statutory consultation management with Sewage and Fire Authorities, and Final Certificate issuance — under the Building Regulations 2010 framework. Its core service covers domestic extensions, renovations, loft conversions, and small-scale commercial developments for homeowners, builders and contractors, architects, and developers, with a supplementary Pre-Application Advice product for upstream design-stage guidance. CBC operates from four regional offices (Birmingham HQ, Essex/London, East Midlands, and Cheshire), employing over 20 Registered Building Inspectors supported by retained consultants, and cites more than 90,000 registered projects across over 40 years of combined industry experience. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 QMS certification and is GDPR-compliant.

The business is a professional services firm monetising via project-based, quote-driven fees for plan checks and inspections, with payment accepted by credit card. Pricing is opaque (no published rate card), and revenue is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct: quotation and inspection-request web forms, telephone, and word-of-mouth referrals from builders, architects, and prior clients, supported by a content-marketing blog covering Building Regulations, the Building Safety Levy, and post-October-2023 legislative changes. There are no disclosed partnerships, channel resellers, M&A activity, external investors, or technology-platform integrations; service delivery is entirely in-house through employed RBIs.
