The
Building Regulations is a set of pre-defined standards ensuring
safe building practices and good workmanship. The standards
cover structure, fire safety, sound and thermal insulation,
ventilation, drainage, flues, access for the disabled,
staircases and glazing.
There are two processes in obtaining Building Regulation Approval:
Process 1:
The Building Control department will approve the plans submitted
to them making sure that they comply with the regulations.
Changes will have to be made until they are completely satisfied.
This is known as Full Plans approval and this is what
ADP will obtain on your behalf if requested.
Process 2:
You submit a build notice and the Building Control department will inspect the works
at various stages of the construction and issue a Compliance
Certificate upon completion. This does not require technical
drawing to be prepared and leaves the responsibility of ensuring
Building control compliance with the builder.
