Building Regulations for Change of Use

When you plan to change how an existing property is used, you might find that building regulations come into play. This applies even if you don't think your project involves traditional 'building work'. These regulations are crucial because repurposing a space can significantly impact vital aspects such as fire safety provisions, accessibility for all users, and the structural integrity of the building.

Getting Professional Guidance

It is always a good idea to speak directly with your local building control body. They are the best people to advise you on whether building regulations apply to your specific change of use proposal, and what particular standards and requirements you will need to satisfy.
