Support following PWC Building Control Ltd Liquidation
We are supporting residents following the liquidation of PWC Building Control Services Ltd, which had been providing building control services across the East Midlands, including from a Towcester-based office.
With PWC Building Control Services Ltd placed into voluntary liquidation, We are ready to assist residents and ensure projects remain compliant with building regulations. Many projects previously under their supervision can now transition to WNC-trusted Building Control services, which are staffed by professionally qualified and experienced surveyors.
Building control is vital for ensuring the safety and quality of construction work, and we continue to offer reliable, cost-effective services. While residents have always had the option to use private services, our Building Control team is on hand to support affected residents, and is doing this initially through clearly explaining the options for former PWC customers.
Although the sudden closure of PWC Building Control is going to have significantly concerned their customers, we will do our best to help those affected. We are currently writing to all PWC customers to set out their options, where former PWC customers choose to submit reversion applications we will do our best to determine these as quickly as staff resources allow.
While we are committed to managing this increased workload as efficiently as possible, ensuring residents receive the highest level of service and support, nonetheless we know that many people will experience a delay.
We are committed to minimising disruption for affected residents as far as resources allow, and are here to provide expert guidance and assistance through every step of the building control process.
