Building regulations and controls are in place within the UK construction industry for a very good reason!
They’re there to ensure that your new structure or structural building changes comply with the set standards for the design and construction of a building, and to ensure health and safety standards are adhered to and that the works completed are safe and fit for purpose.
If your builder tells you not to worry, it’s the perfect time to walk away!
Don’t risk it… If you don’t get building regulations approval, you risk being fined, and with the potential demolition of the works completed, which is both stressful and costly. Additionally, it may affect your ability to potentially sell the property in the future.
Current building regulations in the UK cover to name but a few:
- Structural safety for buildings, extensions and conversions
- Fire Safety
- Contamination and Damp
- Toxicity
- Sound / Acoustics
- Ventilation
- Hygiene
- Drainage
