Are your live building projects protected if your building control inspector goes into liquidation?

A recent operational notice from the Building Safety Regulator has highlighted exactly this scenario, with hundreds of live projects left without building control cover following the insolvency of an approved inspector.

For affected project owners, the immediate priorities are clear:

· Non-higher-risk projects revert to the local authority unless a new Registered Building Control Approver (RBCA) is appointed quickly.

· Higher-risk building projects must cease all work until BSR confirms a valid new application.

· Any part final certificates already issued remain valid.

But beyond building control, there’s a question that often gets overlooked:

What happens to the structural warranty?

When a building control provider enters insolvency, structural warranty provision can be left in a precarious position — creating serious risk for developers, funders, and future occupiers.

Whether you’re a project owner needing a new warranty for a stalled development, or an IP navigating the complexities of a construction insolvency, we’re here to help.
