What are building regulations?
Building Regulations set standards for design and construction which apply to most new buildings and many alterations to existing buildings in England. They exist to ensure the health and safety of people in and around all types of buildings (i.e. domestic, commercial and industrial). They also provide for energy conservation, and access to and use of buildings.
Building regulations are laid out in 14 parts dealing with individual aspects of building design and construction ranging from structural matters, fire safety, and energy conservation –to hygiene, sound insulation, and access to and use of buildings. Not all the functional requirements may apply to your building work, but all those which do apply must be complied with as part of the
overall process of complying with the Building Regulations.
To summarise, Building Regulations will probably apply if you want to:
One should bear in mind that complying with the Building Regulations is a separate matter from obtaining planning permission for your work. Similarly, receiving any planning permission which your work may require is not the same as taking action to ensure that it complies with the Building Regulations.

Who is responsible for complying with Building Regulations?
Anyone wanting to carry out building work which is subject to the Building Regulations is required by law to make sure it complies with the regulations.( click here for exceptions).The primary responsibility for achieving compliance with the regulations rests with the person carrying out the building work.
You should also bear in mind that if you are the owner of the building, it is ultimately you who may be served with an enforcement notice if the work does not comply with the regulations. So it is important that you choose your builder carefully. Contact us if you require a competent builder.
Fourteen Parts of Building Regulations
The requirements with which building work should comply are contained in Schedule 1 to the Building Regulations and are grouped under the fourteen ‘parts’:
• Part A – Structure,
• Part B – Fire safety,
• Part C – Site preparation and resistance to moisture,
• Part D – Toxic substances,
• Part E – Resistance to the passage of sound,
• Part F – Ventilation,
• Part G – Hygiene,
• Part H – Drainage and waste disposal
• Part J – Combustion appliances and fuel storage systems,
• Part K – Protection from falling, collision and impact
• Part L – Conservation of fuel and power
• Part M – Access to and use of buildings,
• Part N – Glazing – safety in relation to impact, opening and cleaning
• Part P – Electrical safety.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU CONTRAVENE THE BUILDING REGULATIONS?
The Building Regulations can be contravened by not following the building control procedures they set out for handling your building work, and/or by carrying out building work which does not comply with the requirements contained in the Building Regulations.
If a person carrying out building work contravenes the Building Regulations, the local authority or another person may decide to take them to the magistrates’ court where they could be fined up to £5000 for the contravention, and up to £50 for each day the contravention continues after conviction.
