Building control team hosts a Housing Standards Review Seminar

Shropshire Council’s building control team held a seminar on Tuesday 30 June 2015 about the latest changes being introduced in England to improve consistency in housing standards.

The event was well attended and offered an opportunity for delegates to discuss the topic further with the presenters, as well as network with the Shropshire team and like-minded professionals.

Phil Russell, building control team manager, said:

‘We are dedicated to helping our customers maintain the highest standards in building design and construction, and aim to work together to seek cost effective solutions which ensure that buildings comply with the building regulations. The upcoming changes to building regulations are a big responsibility for people in the construction industry, and this seminar was designed to help them address the challenges ahead.”

Mal Price, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for regulatory services, said:

“The seminar was attended by a full house of prestigious guests and clients from the construction industry. We aim to assist our customers achieve compliance with building regulations in the most efficient manner, and we hope the seminar will help to make the whole process trouble-free.”

The building control team is planning to organise further events with the aim to keep local professionals up to date with the latest techniques and innovations within the building industry, as well as keeping them informed of changes to the building regulations. Our events run in the evening and are informal and friendly. The presentations usually last an hour and are followed by a Q&A session.
