What we do
We carry out a range of work to ensure that buildings are safe,
including:
- Provide general advice
- Check plans
- Carry out site inspections
- Issue a Completion Certificate following a satisfactory final
inspection
- Carry out SAP Assessments and provide Energy Performance
Certificates for new build dwellings
- Deal with dangerous buildings and demolition of buildings
- Give advice on designing building access and facilities for
disabled people
Building Regulations apply to most new buildings and certain
alterations. They may also apply when the use of a building is
changed. Charges are made for checking plans and for site
inspections and vary according to the work involved.
In addition to needing Building Regulations Approval, most
building work (including alterations and changes of use) will
require Planning
Permission.
