What are Building Regulations?

Building Regulations apply to building work in England & Wales and set standards for the design and construction of buildings to ensure the health and safety of people in and around those buildings.  They also include requirements to ensure that fuel and power are conserved and facilities are provided for people, including those with disabilities, to access and move around inside buildings.  Scotland has its own set of Building Regulations.

What is "Building Work"?

The following types of project amount to 'Building Work':

The erection or extension of a building.
An alteration or renovation project involving work which will temporarily or permanently affect the ongoing compliance of the building, service or fitting with the requirements relating to structure, fire, or access to and use of buildings.
When installing replacement windows using a Builder or window company not FENSA registered.
The installation or extension of a service or fitting which is controlled under the regulations.
The insertion of insulation into a cavity wall.
The underpinning of the foundations of a building.
When you want to change the building's fundamental use.

If your building work consists only of the installation of certain types of services or fittings (e.g. some types of drain, fuel burning appliances, replacement windows, WCs, and showers) and you employ an installer registered with a relevant scheme designated in the Building Regulations (a competent person), that installer may be able to self-certify the work. 

Having confirmed that a planned project has been designed to the standards laid down in Building Regulations, it may be necessary to ensure that all works carried out, adhere to the regulations and to do that, an Approved Inspector should carry out regular checks on the work. Local Authority Building Control Departments typically carry out this work, but are not always available when required, which is why more Building Control Surveyors are providing their expertise to carry out inspection work in a timely manner

Filling in the form above will instantly give you a list of people who can help you.  They will be a mixture of Building Surveyors, Structural Engineers, Architects and other people familiar and experienced with Building Regulations requirements. In addition to their contact details you will also be given details of their experience and qualifications to help you make a choice.  It should be useful for you to initially phone some of them and speak in general terms about your requirement.  Before appointing a supplier and placing an order you should ensure yourself that your chosen supplier has satisfactory qualifications, experience and insurance, to provide the level of service that you require.

Walid from Stabuild Ltd was absolutely brilliant. Couldn't have found him without the local surveyors direct website which was very easy to use. Thank you all! He was incredibly professional, very timely and responsive by phone and email. Wrote us a very professional report on the alterations we wished to make to our home and great value for money.
