Building control registers

The Building Safety Regulator (BSR) will establish:

• a register of building inspectors, across both public and private sectors
• a register of building control approvers

with corresponding registration criteria.

Registration criteria

The registration criteria and processes are being developed and include:

• commitment to a code of conduct for registered building inspectors (RBIs)
• a competence framework for RBIs
• professional conduct rules against which registered building control approvers (RBCAs) will be held to account

The code of conduct and professional conduct rules are likely to incorporate standards for:

• honesty
• integrity
• professional conduct
• fairness
• legal compliance
• insurance
• independence
• accountability
• governance arrangements
• managing conflicts of interest
