Come to one of our free technical seminar roadshows (and earn CPD!)

You’re invited to LABC's free technical seminar roadshows where you’ll have the opportunity to hear from industry experts and exchange ideas with fellow builders and designers.

Local Authority Building Control surveyors and our expert associates will also be on hand to answer any questions. If you’re an FMB member you’ll receive an invitation separately as part of our working partnership.

LABC will be holding one roadshow per month, so keep an eye out for one near to you. Each roadshow will begin with a free breakfast at 8am and end at around 11:30am, with presentations on all you ever wanted to know about SUDs, acoustic failures and solutions, external wall and space saving insulation solutions, preventing warranty claims and legionella.

The final session was written in conjunction with the FMB and covers a range of subjects and issues including:

• recent changes to Building Regulations in security, water use and disabled access standards
• the recent British Standard for fixing roof tiles
• what to do if you realise a project should have had Building Regulations approval
• what can be done to ensure everyone is delivering to the standards they promise

You’ll learn more about how Local Authority Building Control teams are making life easier by simplifying the application process. The days of endless form filling and bureaucracy are well and truly over, and many people now register their Building Regulation application with a simple phone call to their local team.

If you build in a wider area you might be interested in our unique partnership scheme which allows you to work with one surveyor who acts as a single point of contact for all applications, checking your plans and calculations and passing on the agreed design to the team nearest your site, enabling you to fast-track inspections and minimise delays. 

Joining the Partnership scheme also offers you great opportunities to market your business and raise your profile with the local community, you could even be nominated for a prestigious LABC Building Excellence Award.  

These awards recognise teamwork and the way businesses have overcome difficulties by working together. There are a variety of categories including Best Extension, Best Local Builder and Best Partnership with a LABC team.

Registering with LABC will mean you're the first to learn about important new Building Regulations guidance and you'll receive regular CPD briefing sessions, technical e-bulletins and further networking opportunities - all free of charge.

Attendees at the LABC Roadshow will receive 3.5 hours CPD for free, but don't worry if you’re unable to attend -– you will soon be able to access the information on the LABC's new learning and guidance platform.
