Two different jobs
A project manager coordinates trades, programme and budget. Building Control issues statutory inspections. They have different reporting lines, different priorities, and different success criteria.
Where the gap appears
Project managers are paid by the project. Building Control work to the Regulations. Neither is your independent advisor — they each have a role, but it is not to translate the project for you.
How BuildJourney fits
Independent oversight sits in that gap. We are not running the project and we are not the regulator — we are the voice that explains both to the homeowner.
