An introduction to the Building Regulations
The Building Regulations are made under powers provided in the Building Act 1984. They apply to the majority of building projects. Their ultimate aim is to ensure the health, safety and welfare of people in and around buildings. They also provide standards for energy conservation and access and facilities for disabled people.
Anyone wishing to carry out work which is covered by the Building Regulations must ensure it complies with the regulations and submit a valid application or initial notice prior to commencing the work.
