For agents, architects and homeowners

In collaboration with real users, we rigorously researched, tested and refined the new Building Control Portal to ensure optimal usability. Our integrated platform combines planning and building control applications, allowing applicants to use the data from their submitted planning applications to populate key areas of their building control applications.

Leveraging existing back-office connectors and utilising the familiar Planning Portal interface, the platform allows applicants to submit applications and pay fees seamlessly. It streamlines the entire building control process, enhancing efficiency and convenience for both authorities and applicants alike.
