Will the client know you're involved?

That's your call. Many builders use it as a value-add and share the summary openly with their clients.

Can you attend the actual Building Control inspection?

Yes, by arrangement. More commonly we attend the day before so anything needed can be put right in time.

The problem

Why this service exists

A failed inspection costs days, retrofits and trust. The issues that trigger them are almost always avoidable — drawings drift, missed details, or one trade undoing another's work.

Our solution

How BuildJourney helps

Builder Support is a pre-inspection review by an independent advisor who knows what Building Control is looking for, so you get to fix it on your own time, not theirs.

What's included

How it works

Building Control will tell you what's wrong after the inspection. BuildJourney can tell you before. A short site visit or remote review can spot the gaps that trigger re-inspections and delays.

Drawings vs site reality cross-check

Optional follow-up if any item is queried at inspection

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No — most of our Builder Support clients are owner-operated firms running one or two jobs at a time.
