BUILDING CONTROL Why? When? What? How? Why are Building Regulations and Building Control necessary? The simple answer is that Building Regulations and hence the Building Control Service are necessary to ensure that an acceptable standard of health and safety is achieved for people in and around buildings. They also require adequate access and facilities for disabled persons as well as specifying measures to control energy consumption. However, it must be remembered that they are not a control of quality. You should make your own separate supervisory arrangements in this respect should you consider it necessary. When will you need to apply? The Regulations apply to any ‘building work’ and therefore you will need to make an application before proceeding. The definition of ‘building work’ is contained within the Regulations. However, in general terms it covers the erection and/or extension of any type of building (with certain exemptions), the installation of works and fittings such as new waste appliances, new drainage and heating appliances, alterations to the structure of a building, or work affecting means of escape in case of fire. Building work does not cover repair items, but certain operations which you may consider a repair are not considered exempt under the Regulations and therefore will require an application. Examples of this are underpinning and replacing a defective roof covering with a heavier or lighter tile or slate. From 1st April 2002 replacement windows and doors have been required to comply with the Regulations. However, different administrative procedures apply and you should ask for further information by contacting us, using any of the methods listed in the introduction. From 1st January 2005 Part P (Electrical) is required to comply with the Regulations. However, different administrative procedures apply and you should ask for further information by contacting us, using any of the methods listed in the introduction. Should you have any doubts, or even to double-check your own conclusions, please check with us, it may save you considerable problems in the future. It should be remembered that even if the work does not require approval under the Building Regulations – it may require approval under other legislation, e.g., Planning Permission. 5
