Building Control software, specifically created for Registered Building Control Approvers and RBI's.

Our system, Approved Inspector Professional, is a one stop, fully managed solution designed specifically for Registered Building Control Approvers and Registered Building Inspectors.

The AIP Building Control Software solution has a reputation for its impressive ability to provide all of the features Building Control Approvers need. Barnbrook Software already supply our AIP Building Control software to a significant percentage of the Building Control Approvers in England and Wales who are realising significant benefits from using the AIP system.

We have a history of providing Building Control software and a solid understanding of legislation which means we are not only ideally suited to help and support new Building Control Approvers, recently gaining their licenses, but also to help well established Building Control Approvers migrate and upgrade from spreadsheets or other database systems that have simply lacked good user support and/or the advanced features that our Building Control software offers.

The AIP Building Control Software solution excels in providing usability, functionality, cost effectiveness, reliability and adaptability for our customers.

Unlike many suppliers, we give you the choice of where you decide to store your files.
It is important to remember that you will need to retain your files for 15 years and most RBCA's of average business size will process and store around 200Gb of files each year. Over 15 years this will become a significant amount of storage which is why we give you the choice to find a cost effective storage solution that works best for your business rather than insisting that you use our own storage services.

About Barnbrook Software and AIP

Barnbrook Software was established in 2013.
We currently supply the AIP Building Control software to approximately a third of the private sector Registered Building Control Approvers across England and Wales with a growing customer base.
We continually receive excellent feedback from our customers and other Building Control Approvers regarding our system and have helped a number of Registered Building Control Approvers migrate from other software or even in-house systems as well as those implementing software for the first time.
With no extra fees for software updates, our customers have the reassurance that they will continuously receive new software features and updates without any additional expense.

 

Prior to this, our softwares developers gained 20 years of experience developing Building Control software for use by public sector organisations.

Unlike many other alternatives which may be plugins or screen modifications of basic features on third party generic platforms, Barnbrook software's AIP Building Control software has been specifically designed and written by Barnbrook Software from the ground up for use by Registered Building Control Approvers and Registered Building Inspectors.

We have developed the Approved Inspector Professional, (AIP), Building Control software and database specifically for Registered Building Control Approvers and RBI's, using our extensive experience and understanding of the processes and legislation.

Unlike many software suppliers, we get to know our customers and actively engage with them, encouraging feedback which is then included, where possible, in the regular updates.
Our user support is friendly and will address the requirements of all users, no matter the level of their technical knowledge or ability.

We always react quickly to any changes to the Approved Documents or legislation and we make sure that our customers always have the facility to meet the requirements of the BSR and the legislation.
