Building Notice

A Building Notice is generally suitable for small domestic work, alterations and projects, for example an additional window or removing an internal wall.  It’s a faster process meaning you can start 48 hours after deposit. Generally plans are not needed although we sometimes ask for further information depending on the type of works. You should also be aware that a Building Notice puts more responsibility for knowing and complying with the building regulations on the person carrying out the work and the property owner.

A Building Notice can’t be used, however, if you are going to be building over or close to a public sewer or altering a commercial building.
