What is building control?
It's a legal requirement for building work to meet the Building Regulations (2010) and building control services, also known as building control bodies, check that work complies with the Building Regulations and associated legislation. Work that needs to be checked by building control includes:
- extensions
- conversions (loft, garage)
- internal alterations
- basements
- new buildings.
