JHAI Building Control | Durabase Steel Base JHAI Approved

The Durabase Plus 100 base and modular wall system is Building Regulations compliant for England and Wales and is approved by leading private building inspection company Stroma. Stroma are an independent building inspector who are licensed by the government – via the Construction Industry Council (CIC) – to carry out Building Control (or BR) approval every five years. This is done as an alternative to Local Authorities.

They are fully experienced in what they do, having processed over 65,000 BR applications throughout the last five years. They are one of the biggest approved inspectors in the industry, meaning that you can get your installations signed off with ease and in no time at all.

Building Control is an inspection to ensure that your installations will meet and comply with Building Regulations. These are the standards which have been set to follow when creating a new building or when altering an already existing structure. This is to ensure your health, safety, welfare. It also considers the convenience of the people in and around your building. This even takes into account how much fuel, energy and water is used to conserve and reduce waste.

What Is The Stroma Building Control Process?

The Building Control process is to ensure that our Durabase Plus 100 bases have been fitted correctly, according to Building Regulations for England and Wales. This will ensure your safety and security when it comes to building the rest of the extension.

Here is a simple step by step guide:

Step 1 – With a minimum of just five days before starting to build your extension, you must submit an application form to Stroma. It is simple and easy to follow.
Step 2 – Once everything is submitted – an inspection will be made as soon as you have dug your foundation holes.
Step 3 – There will be a subsequent visit. This will be during the pre-plaster stage of the installation of the extension. This is to ensure that everything is going as planned and is safe; complying with Building Regulations.

Better yet, your Stroma building inspector can even sign off a roofing system. If you need more information about any of this, please visit our resources page. Here you can get all the details and forms you need when it comes to Stroma and their building inspections.

Is Stroma Registered With My Local Authority?

Although Stroma are an independent building control inspector, all their work is registered within your Local Authority. They promise to ensure that from large development companies to a client doing DIY, they will offer the best, most efficient and cost-effective Building Control service.

Is It Important To Always Have Building Regulation Approval?

You must check if you need Building Regulations approval before you construct or change buildings in certain ways. Always check with a building control body if you cannot decide if you need Building Regulations approval for your project. You can either choose your local authority’s building control department or a private registered building control approver.

The Durabase Plus 100 base is Building Regulations compliant for England and Wales and the Durabase Plus 120 base is Building Regulations compliant for Scotland. The Durabase modular wall meets Building Regulations across England, Wales and Scotland.

What Happens When Stroma Visits My Building Site?

Once your building surveyor inspects the work, they will make inspection notes. There will be notes about whether parts comply or not. Once they have finished, they will either leave a written report with you or will email the report to you. Unless you have been notified about any non-compliances, your work has met Building Regulations.
