โAnother question we are always asked is - Do we need Building Controlโ
๐ก When it comes to planning your next home project, the first thing to consider other than getting fen developments to do it ๐ is do we require building control.
Building Control is a legal requirement that ensures building work is safe, structurally sound, energy efficient and built to current regulations. It focuses on how the project is built, rather than how it looks.
Building Control approval is usually required for work that affects the structure, safety or performance of your home.
Jobs That Typically Need Building Control
๐ก Extensions
๐งฑ Structural alterations (removing walls, installing steels)
๐ณ Kitchen refurbishments involving layout or structure
๐ฅ Loft conversions
๐ช Garage conversions
๐งฏ Fire safety upgrades
๐ก๏ธ Insulation, foundations and drainage work
