Changes to Building Regulations
The way Building Regulation services in Powys are delivered, is changing.
What is happening ?
From 6th April 2024, all Building Control surveyors will be operating under licence. The class of licence held, will determine the type of building work that each surveyor can oversee.
What does this mean ?
This means that the surveyors you normally deal with may vary depending upon the type of building project that you are working on. A further requirement of the licence is that Building Control surveyors can no longer provide design advice on projects that they are overseeing.
Who will this impact ?
Whether you are an agent or a builder, the expectation will be that you have a thorough understanding of the Building Regulation requirements relating to your building project, without the need to call upon guidance from Building Control, who from 6th April will no longer be able to assist you in how to comply with Building Regulations.
If you have any questions about the new licencing of Building Control surveyors, then please contact us.
