What are the Building Regulations?
Listen
Building Regulations are legal requirements aimed at achieving adequate standards of building work for the construction of domestic, commercial and industrial buildings. Find out if your proposed building work falls into one of the categories of work requiring building regulation approval.
Building Regulations are laid down by Parliament and are supported by separate documents containing practical and technical guidance on compliance, which are known as Approved Documents.
The main purpose of Building Regulations is to ensure the health and safety of the persons in or about buildings.
