Help with your building project

What building control does

We make sure all construction work meets with building regulations. Building regulations are minimum standards for design, construction and alterations to almost all buildings. We do this by checking your building project plans and inspecting the work on site.

The main purposes of building regulations are to ensure the: 

  • health and safety of people in and around buildings
  • conservation of energy and fuel 
  • welfare of people using the building

Building regulation consent is different from planning permission. You may need both for your project.
