This page lists architects and planning consultants covering all 22 Welsh local authority areas, with cities such as Cardiff, Swansea, Newport and Wrexham.

Getting signed off in Wales
Building control in Wales works much like England. Your council or a registered building control approver checks the work and issues a completion or final certificate. Wales has its own Approved Documents, and all new and converted homes must have sprinklers.
