Building Regulations

Building Regulations ensure the health and safety of people in and around buildings by providing functional requirements for building design and construction. The regulations also promote energy efficiency in buildings and contribute to meeting the needs of disabled people.

The Building Regulations Part L were amended by Statutory Instrument (2001) No 3335 on 11 October 2001. New Approved Documents L1 and L2 giving approved guidance on how the new Part L can be complied with were published on 31 October. The amendments to the Regulations and the new Approved Documents came into effect on 01 April 2002.

There are many new features in the changes to the Regulations and the new Approved Documents that will be unfamiliar to designers, builders, building services contractors and building control inspectors alike. Local authority Building Control departments are a traditional source of help on how works can meet the regulations.

Safety Together has the complete current editions of all sections and can advise you on compliance. There is a much confusion as to do we need Planning or Building Control, we can advise you on which you need and make the arrangements/applications on your behalf.
