Who are we and what do we do?

Welcome to CNC Building Control.

CNC provides the building control functions for the Local Authority areas of South Norfolk, King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, Fenland, Norwich City and Broadland. Building Control is a statutory requirement on the vast majority of building projects (including internal alterations and conversion works) irrespective of whether planning permission has been required or not.

It is the process of ensuring projects are completed in accordance with the Building Regulations and exists to ensure that the safety and well-being of any person is not compromised by changes or work that takes place.

In short, CNC are able to support you through your project from pre-planning and commencement through to project completion and issuing of certification.

We look forward to working with you.
