What we do
We create easy-to-follow eBook guides covering a wide range of home improvement and building projects. From small renovations to larger structural work, our resources explain planning permission, building regulations, safety, and energy efficiency in clear, practical terms.
​
Our guides are available online through council websites, email communications, the Government’s Planning Portal, and social media channels. By offering reliable, step-by-step information across multiple platforms, we make sure homeowners always have the resources they need to plan and complete their projects successfully.
Who we are
At Building Control Communications, we work with councils across the country to provide trusted guidance for planning and building control services. Our mission is to make local authority expertise clear, practical, and accessible for everyday homeowners, helping them navigate home improvement and building projects with confidence.
​
As the publications arm of Content Media Services Ltd, we bridge the gap between official regulations and homeowners. By turning complex rules and guidance into straightforward, understandable information, we ensure that people can make informed decisions every step of the way.
We have a long-standing relationship with the Planning Portal, the Government’s online planning legislation and building regulations resource. Together, we produce a dedicated Planning Guide that provides homeowners with step-by-step information on navigating the planning process.
This collaboration ensures that the guidance we provide is not only practical and accessible but also aligned with the national standards and requirements that shape the planning system.
