Building Control
Building control is responsible for enforcing the building regulations when building works are carried out within the Belfast City Council area.We are concerned with:
- how buildings are constructed
- and inspect construction work as it is carried out to make sure the necessary standards are met.
- the licensing of places of entertainment, cinemas, and places storing petroleum
- we deal with dangerous structures
- open and vacant premises
- street naming and numbering
- and we hold an extensive buildings archive, providing property information and ‘property certificates’ for the conveyancing process when buildings are being sold.
Normal office hours:
Monday to Thursday - 9am until 5pm
