From Spring 2024, building control inspectors had to register with a new body called the Building Safety Regulator, under changes made in following the Grenfell Tower fire.
PWC’s application was rejected and so the firm cancelled all existing inspections and the cases were passed to local authorities.
BRI Business Recovery and Insolvency were appointed liquidators and said the collapse had lead to 26 job losses.
It said a process to allow customers to apply for existing site notes to aid council building control teams had been delayed.
This would cost £220 plus VAT but no profit would be made by BRI or PWC, it said.
Councillor Andrea Spice, from Bedford Borough Council, said the authority was raising concerns with the government.
She said there needed to be recognition of the impact on “the whole sector” of the new scheme “including the need for greater capacity nationally in building control”.
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said it was aware of the impact of the collapse.
“We have engaged Bedford and other affected authorities to understand how we can support them and have invested £16.5m to further train building control inspectors nationally,” it said.
