Offering designers and contractors design details that streamline the building control process

LABC Registered Details enable developers, architects, designers, technical specifiers and contractors to register or use existing design details to minimise the building control checking and approvals process.

Scope and benefits

Like the previous scheme, LABC Registered Details enables all local authority building control surveyors to share technical details and to recognise the building control decisions made by others in the LABC network.

This means that once a 'Registration' has been given through one local authority it will be recognised by all LABC surveyors in England & Wales.

The scheme is specifically designed for use within the LABC network. The benefit to LABC surveyors is that technical research does not need to be repeated time after time by different local authorities.

The benefit for LABC's customers is that the use of Registered Details streamlines Building Regulations applications and saves time (and money).

LABC is not a testing house and does not provide certification - in fact submissions will be required to demonstrate technical performance and achievement of recognised standards by supplying test certificates and other proofs of performance.

Through LABC Registered Details, LABC will measure a design, system or solution against the Building Regulations and judge whether, if used correctly in the defined way, compliance with the Building Regulations will be achieved.
