What are building regulations and what does that mean for you?
Home Measuring How it worksBuilding Regulations (known as Building Warrant in Scotland) cover the structural aspects of a build project.
They are a set of rules that make sure your construction is safe and lawful. If you are carrying out work on your property and you are the owner, then you will be liable if work does not comply with building regulations. These regulations are important as your changes may interfere with the existing safety of your building and the altered building as a whole may no longer comply as a result.
When is Building Control required?
Generally speaking, you will need to have passed Building Control if you want to :
- Construct a new building
- Extend or alter an existing building
- Provide services, eg washing or sanitary facilities, replace windows or install a fuel burning appliance
