The Building Regulations are standards that set guidelines in the design and construction of buildings.

The Building Regulations discussed below apply to building work in England & Wales. Scotland has its own Building Regulations. The Building Regulations cover a wide range of building work from major office, shop and residential developments to small domestic works like extensions, through lounges and loft conversions, but are highlighted more clearly below.
What types of building works should comply with Building Regulations?
- The erection or extension of a building
- The installation or extension of a service or fitting which is controlled under the regulations
- An alteration project involving work which will temporarily or permanently affect the ongoing compliance of the building, service or fitting with the requirements relating to structure, fire, or access to and use of buildings
- The insertion of insulation into a cavity wall
- The underpinning of the foundations of a building
If you are planning to carry out the above works, make sure they comply with Building Regulations. The work iself should comply with the relevant technical requirements of the Building Regulations and it is important they do not cause other services, building fabric and fittings to be come less compliant than previously.
The Building Regulations may also apply to certain changes of use of an existing building. This is because the change of use may result in the building as a whole no longer complying with the requirements which will apply to its new type of use, and so having to be upgraded to meet additional requirements specified in the regulations for which building work may also be required.
