Building Control plays an important role in making sure applicable renovation and structural alteration work complies with Building Regulations. Depending on the work being carried out, Building Control involvement and inspections may be required as the renovation progresses.
This is particularly relevant when a renovation involves significant changes to the existing structure or layout of a property.
Which Renovation Projects May Involve Building Control?
Depending on the nature and scope of the work, Building Control may be relevant to projects involving:
- Load-bearing wall removals
- Steel beam installations
- Structural alterations
- Major internal reconfigurations
- Certain plumbing and electrical work
The client’s original guide lists these among the types of work where Building Control may be involved. At AKA Construction, we work with structural engineers and Building Control where required, helping to coordinate the relevant stages alongside the wider renovation.
