How Does Building Control Work

Navigating Building Control for Your Home Extension

Experience the Assurance of Building Control in Enhancing Your Home’s Future

Building control is a crucial aspect of home extensions and is vital in ensuring safety and compliance. UK law doesn’t just mandate this process. It involves rigorous assessments to ensure every aspect of your new space aligns with the Building Regulations 2010. It’s worth noting that the building regulations were amended by the Building Regulations 2016. These regulations are designed to ensure people’s safety, health, and welfare in and around buildings.

In your home extension project, building control acts as a vital checkpoint. It’s imperative to oversee the structural integrity and safety of the construction. This includes evaluations of the foundations, damp-proofing, insulation, and fire safety measures. It’s a process that ensures your extension is visually appealing and structurally sound. In turn, it contributes to your home’s longevity and sustainability.

Moreover, the role of building control extends beyond mere compliance. It involves guidance and advice throughout the construction process. Support is crucial when the excitement of home expansion can overshadow the construction details. By prioritising building control, you ensure that your investment is protected.

Plus, you can ensure that your extension adds tangible value to your property.
