Site Investigations
Build Insight Consulting is passionate about generating recognition across the construction industry as someone whose offsite solutions offer opportunities to improve project quality, deliver increased value, improve productivity and support a more sustainable industry.
Site Investigation is invariably the starting point of most build projects, and could probably be classed as the most important. Without express previous knowledge of what the site contains, how can anyone be sure that the design of the build is suitable for the site?

Approved Inspector Services
Building Control Build Insight Approved Inspector Services deliver a solution focussed and proactive end-to-end service for all Building Control matters. Typically, this can begin from the moment an idea of a project is born – we specialise in giving pre-application advice on all projects, irrespective of complexity, size or scope. We firmly believe that the sooner we are involved in a project, the greater the likelihood is that we can add value, create efficiencies and assist the design team in getting the right answers, first time. Our unrivalled expertise can come to the fore and eradicate issues before they become just that. We pride ourselves on not just quoting the rule book at our clients, but instead offer solutions to issues and work with clients, developers, architects and designers to reach desired goals in the most efficient, cost effective way possible. This is mirrored on both our plan checking and inspection services, ensuring the same level of detail and consistency is delivered to you throughout a project. To achieve this, a project manager will be appointed to your project and will be your point of contact for the duration of the build.
Ultimately, by combining Building Control with the wider range of compliance consultancy services, Build Insight can provide a “one stop shop” approach to both regulatory compliance and associated consultancy disciplines from site investigations through to completion testing.
