Notification of work
Most building work and material changes of use must be notified to a building control body unless
one of the following applies.
a. It is work that will be self-certified by a registered competent person or certified by a registered
third party.
b. It is work exempted from the need to notify by regulation 12(6A) of, or Schedule 4 to, the
Building Regulations.
Responsibility for compliance
People who are responsible for building work (e.g. agent, designer, builder or installer) must ensure
that the work complies with all applicable requirements of the Building Regulations. The building
owner may also be responsible for ensuring that work complies with the Building Regulations. If
building work does not comply with the Building Regulations, the building owner may be served
with an enforcement notice.
