The responsibility has changed. So why are some of the old ways of working still hanging around?<\/h2>\n<p>The building control industry has been through one of its biggest periods of change in decades.<\/p>\n<p>The Building Safety Act, the Building Safety Regulator, Registered Building Control Approvers, Registered Building Inspectors and new dutyholder responsibilities have fundamentally changed the way projects are expected to approach compliance.<\/p>\n<p>But regulation alone doesn\u2019t create safer buildings.<\/p>\n<p>The real change comes from how people work.<\/p>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/restoring-compliance-rebuilding-confidence-strengthening-future\/163591\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Restore Compliance<\/a>, that means asking a bigger question: What does good building<br \/>\ncontrol actually look like in 2026?<\/p>\n<h3>It\u2019s not just about saying no<\/h3>\n<p>Building control has historically been viewed by some project teams as the person who turns up, finds the problems and tells everyone what they can\u2019t do.<\/p>\n<p>That approach is increasingly difficult to reconcile with the collaborative, accountable<br \/>\nenvironment created by the Building Safety Act. Good building control shouldn\u2019t mean simply finding defects.<\/p>\n<p>It should mean identifying risk early, explaining the issue clearly and helping the project team understand what needs to happen next.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean lowering standards.<\/p>\n<p>Quite the opposite.<\/p>\n<p>It means having the confidence to challenge<br \/>\nwhere something isn\u2019t compliant, while<br \/>\nhaving the technical knowledge and<br \/>\ncommunication skills to explain why.<\/p>\n<p>For Restore, the role of the building control<br \/>\nprofessional is evolving from simply checking<br \/>\ncompliance to becoming an important part<br \/>\nof the project\u2019s wider safety culture.<\/p>\n<h3>Paperwork is not the same as compliance<\/h3>\n<p>One of the biggest lessons emerging from<br \/>\nthe new regulatory environment is the<br \/>\nimportance of evidence.<\/p>\n<p>A decision isn\u2019t simply a decision.<\/p>\n<p>Can you demonstrate why it was made?<\/p>\n<p>Can you show what information was considered?<\/p>\n<p>Can you demonstrate who was responsible?<\/p>\n<p>Can you evidence the inspection?<\/p>\n<p>Can you demonstrate that issues were identified, communicated and closed?<\/p>\n<p>Can you show that the information supporting completion and certification is robust?<\/p>\n<p>These questions are becoming increasingly important.<\/p>\n<p>At Restore, this has led to a strong focus on auditability and the golden thread of information.<\/p>\n<p>Inspection notes, photographs, design information, correspondence, declarations and decisions all contribute to the story of a building.<\/p>\n<p>And that story needs to make sense.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cIf you can\u2019t evidence it, how do you know it happened?\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>It is a deliberately uncomfortable question \u2014 but an important one.<\/p>\n<p>The industry is moving away from a culture where a certificate at the end of a project is<br \/>\ntreated as the finish line.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, compliance needs to be demonstrated throughout the journey.<\/p>\n<h3>The human side of building safety<\/h3>\n<p>Technology, legislation and processes are important.<\/p>\n<p>But ultimately, building safety still comes down to people.<\/p>\n<p>The designer making a decision.<\/p>\n<p>The contractor constructing the work.<\/p>\n<p>The building control professional reviewing it.<\/p>\n<p>The client understanding their responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>The dutyholder providing the right information.<\/p>\n<p>And everyone communicating when something doesn\u2019t look right.<\/p>\n<p>That creates a different challenge for the industry.<\/p>\n<p>People need to feel able to ask questions, challenge decisions and report issues<br \/>\nwithout simply passing responsibility somewhere else.<\/p>\n<p>At Restore, this is central to the company\u2019s approach.<\/p>\n<p>The team believes that a strong compliance culture isn\u2019t created by having the biggest<br \/>\nrulebook.<\/p>\n<p>It is created when people understand why something matters and take ownership of<br \/>\ngetting it right.<\/p>\n<h3>The building control skills gap<\/h3>\n<p>There is another issue that the industry cannot ignore.<\/p>\n<p>Who is going to deliver building control in five, 10 and 20 years?<\/p>\n<p>The regulatory changes have increased expectations of technical competence at exactly the time when the industry is already facing a significant skills challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Restore has responded by investing in developing its own people, including supporting trainee building control professionals alongside experienced Registered Building Inspectors.<\/p>\n<p>For the business, developing the next generation isn\u2019t simply a recruitment strategy.<\/p>\n<p>It is part of the industry\u2019s long-term solution.<\/p>\n<p>Experience matters.<\/p>\n<p>But experience has to be passed on.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe Building Safety Act, the Building Safety Regulator, Registered Building Control Approvers, Registered Building Inspectors and new duty-holder responsibilities have fundamentally changed the way projects are expected to approach compliance.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>From compliance checker to trusted adviser<\/h3>\n<p>The building control professional of the future will need more than technical knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>They will need to understand risk.<\/p>\n<p>They will need to communicate.<\/p>\n<p>They will need to document decisions.<\/p>\n<p>They will need to understand the regulatory framework.<\/p>\n<p>And perhaps most importantly, they will need the confidence to challenge when something doesn\u2019t look right.<\/p>\n<p>That is where Restore sees the opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Not to make building control easier by making the requirements less demanding.<\/p>\n<p>But to make compliance clearer, earlier and more collaborative.<\/p>\n<h3>So, what does \u201cgood\u201d look like?<\/h3>\n<p>There probably isn\u2019t one single answer.<\/p>\n<p>But there are some questions worth asking.<\/p>\n<p>Are we identifying risks early enough?<\/p>\n<p>Are responsibilities genuinely understood?<\/p>\n<p>Are decisions properly recorded?<\/p>\n<p>Is the evidence there?<\/p>\n<p>Are we developing the people who will deliver the service tomorrow?<\/p>\n<p>And perhaps the biggest question of all: Are we building a culture where doing the right<br \/>\nthing is easier than doing nothing?<\/p>\n<p>Because the future of building control isn\u2019t going to be defined by certificates alone. It will be defined by competence, accountability, evidence and culture. And that is where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.restore-compliance.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Restore Compliance<\/a> believes the real opportunity lies.<\/p>\n<div
