Building Control
An Introduction to Building Control
Building Control is concerned with building construction standards. The building control process ensures the health and safety of persons in and about the building, the energy efficiency of buildings and their accessibility.
Building Regulation approval is required for most types of building work. The process involves both plan appraisal through to approval and supporting site inspections.
If you are about to carry out building works and you are unsure if you require building regulation approval then you are advised to contact building control to discuss your proposals or alternatively you can read the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) explanatory booklet on the building regulations.
