Planning for a construction? Before starting execution you have to get permission for it. And for this reason, applying for building control is the primary task you should do. Building regulations are a set of instructions that help to know that the building you are planning to construct will be safe for you. You need to speak to the council regarding your plan and then a team of experts will visit your place for inspecting it properly. Here, in this blog, I am going to tell you a few steps that you ought to follow for building regulation approval in Berkshire. So, without any delay let’s start the discussion.
The very first thing you have to do is to apply for Building Control in the local council with a completed application form, two copies of the location map, two copies detailed of the construction plan. You will be given a set of approved plans and an approval certificate. Then contact with Building Control Office and pay a certain amount of fee to them. Once you have successfully paid the fee, they will start to work. A surveyor will then inspect your project and finally, you will be given a building regulations certificate in Berkshire. Keep in mind to keep these certificate safely as these are important when you will sell your property.
But there are a few projects that are exempt from building regulations. These home improvement project does not require any approval from the local authority. Some of them are replacement of basin, sink, toilet, greenhouses, conservations and porches that are separated from a property, carports that are attached to your garage, any alteration in your bathroom such as installing a bath shower or a bathtub, installing lights or additional power points, false ceiling, any electrical work inside your house and so on.
