Both the builder and owner of a building have a legal requirement to make and comply with an appropriate Building Regulations Application. If both the builder and owner do not comply it may result in prosecution through the Magistrates’ Court.
If you are considering a building project and you are unsure as to whether it will require Building Regulations consent please feel free to contact Syntegra Consulting and we will be happy to advise you.
There are two ways of making a Building Regulations application:
1. Full Plans Application
2. Building Notice Application.
When the project is completed to a satisfactory standard a Building Regulations Completion Certificate will be issued showing that the project has been independently inspected and that it complied with the Building Regulations.
Technical Issues:
- Foundations
- Ground Floor
- Walls
- First Floor
- The Roof Structure
- Flat Roofs
- Pitched Roofs
- Ventilation
- Drainage
- Heating
- Thermal Insulation: Within your extension a high level of insulation should be provided to ensure that the amount of heat escaping is minimised. This insulation should be carried out with the roof, walls and flooring.
For single unit extension projects Syntegra Consulting can undertake the SAP assessment, Part L compliance check report and recommendations along with liaison with building control starting from £175+VAT.
