Application Fees
Our fees are highly competitive as we are a not for profit business and only charge for the time our surveyors spend on your project.
For ease we have a standard fee table covering minor domestic works, but for all other projects, please contact us, preferably with a planning reference, drawing or sketches and we will be happy to provide an individual fee assessment.
Make a payment
All Building Control fees will be payable by invoice after receipt of the application form with details on how to pay. We will not be accepting payment before an invoice has been raised after this date.
Standard Fee Table
These standard fees have been set on the basis that:
