CMArchitectural Joins the LABC Partner Authority Scheme!
We are excited to share some fantastic news - CMArchitectural is now officially part of the LABC Partner Authority Scheme (PAS)! This milestone means we can offer a more streamlined, consistent approach to Building Regulations across all our projects.
What Does This Mean for Our Clients?
Being part of the PAS simplifies the approval process, reduces paperwork, and ensures fewer queries, leading to a more efficient and cost-effective service. With a single point of contact for plan appraisal, we can provide consistency and clarity, making the entire process smoother for our clients.
The LABC Partner Authority Scheme Explained
The PAS is designed for companies working across multiple locations and dealing with various local authorities. It allows businesses like ours to develop a one-on-one working relationship with a preferred local authority for advice and plan appraisal. However, site inspections will still be conducted by the local authority where each project takes place.
Key Benefits of the Scheme
By joining PAS, CMArchitectural and our clients gain numerous advantages:
Faster, More Efficient Approvals: The scheme helps streamline the building process, saving both time and money.
Expert Support Throughout the Design Process: A dedicated building control surveyor from our chosen local authority will work closely with our design team to provide expert advice across all projects nationwide.
Early Issue Resolution: By collaborating from the start, we can address any potential issues early in the design phase, reducing the need for costly changes later in construction.
Consistent Plan Appraisal: A single point of contact ensures a uniform approach to interpreting Building Regulations, leading to a more predictable and seamless experience.
Local Knowledge, National Support: While we benefit from a consistent process, site-specific conditions and necessary consultations are still handled by the relevant local authority to ensure compliance with regional requirements.
Looking Ahead
Joining the PAS is a significant step for CMArchitectural, enhancing the quality and efficiency of our services. Our clients can now enjoy a more coordinated approach to building control, improved pre-application services, and seamless liaison with essential services like Fire, Police, and Environmental Health.
We look forward to leveraging this partnership to deliver even better results for our clients. If you have any questions about how to start planning your project, feel free to contact us!
