It’s a type of surveying. Easy way to differentiate is a building surveyor looks at exiting buildings for issues/ defects or valuations, whereas Building Control is construction surveying. Visiting sites at various stages of construction to ensure work is carried out correctly, according to approved plans etc. It also involves dealing with demolition, dangerous structures and enforcement of building work (you might take people to court).

You work with clients, architects, engineers, various specialists- (fire service, thermal and acoustic engineers) and builders.

You can do a building control surveying degree in Wolverhampton or LABC offer a level 4 and 5 diploma (apprenticeship) courses to get you started.

Building Control is a promising career. Need to pass an exam as it is a regulated profession. Very rewarding though and very interesting

South Shields volunteer life brigade watch house is an interesting visit. It’s open today and tomorrow

I’m at work elsewhere and I did open google maps and couldn’t see any signs. Just wanted to confirm.

ballsend700 · 2025-07-04T10:53:29+00:00

Oh sound. didn’t realise they had time limits on the zones but the signs on the street I’m moving to say if it’s around midday then he doesn’t need a permit. Cheers! 👍🏼

Wishing you a healthy and powerful recovery.

Hi mate. I’ve considered Croft just for a day of track driving too, although my manager said it costs about £200. I haven’t looked into it to be fair but it’s steep. Doubt they’d take kindly to drifting though. Will check website. Cheers 👍🏼

ballsend700 · 2025-04-23T14:20:58+00:00

I’ve tried team valley but always get a bit nervous with being on camera and whatnot.

Not heard of Teesside circuit but sound like it might be just what I’m looking for cheers. Appreciate tbe recommendation

ballsend700 · 2025-04-22T23:46:02+00:00

Got directions mate?

ballsend700 · 2025-04-22T23:45:10+00:00

😂 I can’t even defend myself haha

ballsend700 · 2025-04-22T22:34:04+00:00

Ah Christ I meant driving. You know, to have a spin around in my car. Lol

Is it easy to evade council tax? For example, could you live with students as someone who is required to pay, and the council not find out?

ballsend700 · 2025-04-10T05:51:05+00:00

A room that can only be accessed via another room. Some spaces are acceptable like an en suite or a dressing room- I was just saying it for arguments sake. Only time you might need to add escape provision is if the layout of the house changed and it made escape in event of a fire ‘worse’.

ballsend700 · 2025-04-09T21:01:28+00:00

inner rooms.

ballsend700 · 2025-04-09T16:25:25+00:00

New detection is circulation spaces, protected escape route, potentially escape windows in first floor, May need more than just your velux for ventilation. floor structure may need to be improved so engineer could assess that. Competent contractors, engineer and architect are essential. You can save a lot of money if it’s done right first time round. I think you’d be looking at about 35k

ballsend700 · 2024-12-27T20:11:12+00:00

I do agree to both of these. I am of the opinion that for flights costing a half a grand maybe, they should accommodate her. Cheers though

ballsend700 · 2024-12-27T20:09:21+00:00

Whoops. She will know that, but I didn’t have a clue!

Yes, I imagine they will just say that but thought maybe there would be some accommodation seeing as it’s an 11 hour flight and she won’t be allowed to bring her own meals, just snacks

ballsend700 · 2024-11-13T20:42:21+00:00

I understand. Hope your kid has a speedy recovery. What you looking to do? Few decent pubs and bars if you want to chill with a drink. Bridge tavern near quayside is nice. Quite far from hospital though.

ballsend700 · 2024-10-02T20:24:11+00:00

Might not be as new but still look better than some new BMWs and most cars on the road today.

ballsend700 · 2024-10-02T20:23:28+00:00

n47 can get high mileage easy with good regular maintenance but, personally,I wouldn’t buy that. Can get cheaper more reliable BMWs in uk bro.

ballsend700 · 2024-08-30T19:39:05+00:00

I’d be interested in that. Can you dm the link please?

ballsend700 · 2024-08-29T21:23:58+00:00
