Building Control in the office and on site
Building Control work moves between office teams, site inspections, applicants, consultations and documents. Teams need a clear way to manage applications, inspection scheduling, plans, property data, GIS context, customer updates and related systems.
HorizoNext Building Control supports those workflows through a browser-based case-management environment designed around local authority operations.
What HorizoNext Building Control supports
Inspection scheduling
Plan inspection work and help officers understand what needs attention.
Site inspection updates
Record inspection outcomes, notes and related information from site workflows where configured.
Document and plan management
Keep documents, plans and technical drawings connected to the case record.
Consultation correspondence
Support consultation letters, emails and related correspondence around the application.
GIS-assisted context
Use mapping and constraints to understand site, property and service context.
Address and property search
Use address and property data to support search, case creation and review.
Mobile and site working
Give officers access to relevant inspections, case history and documents while away from the office.
Customer options
Connect to online application, inspection booking and progress-checking routes where implemented.
Reporting visibility
Use operational views and reports to understand workload, progress and service activity.
GIS, addressing and consultations
GIS can help Building Control officers understand the site context around an application, including property information and relevant constraints where those datasets are configured.
Address data can support property search and case creation. Consultation workflows can help teams prepare, send and manage correspondence with relevant parties as part of the application process.
Mobile and site working
Officers may need access to scheduled inspections, case history, documents, plans and technical drawings while away from the office. HorizoNext Building Control can support site working by making relevant case information available to officers and allowing updates, photos and inspection outcomes to be recorded where configured.
Where configured, data can be cached for use when connectivity is limited and synchronised later.
Public-facing and customer-service options
Customers may need to apply, book inspections or check progress online. Public and self-service options can reduce routine enquiries and manual handling where they fit the authority's process.

Relationship to HorizoNext and Planning
Building Control sits alongside Planning, Local Land Charges and Public Portal options within the HorizoNext family. That shared approach helps councils think about applications, inspections, property data, documents, GIS and customer access as connected service workflows.
