Do I Have To Have Building Regs Before I Can Ask For Quotes?

Hello, We have had planning permission passed but I have not yet got building regs approved. Can I start getting builders to quote for the extension or do I have to wait for building regs before I approach builders?

Answer:Start getting your quotes, but do not sign a contract until you get the reg's in writing, then make them part of your contract. As otheres have said, the builders should be aware of what the reg's will be. If they do not, you probably want to be working with some one else. Your final price may change when the builder see's the reg's involved, but by then you will have weeded out the builder's you do not feel comfortable working with.

My Neighbour Has Contravneed The Building Regs. On The Garage Wall Of Our 1974 Home. What Can I Do?

The Building Regs. show that the ground that abuts an external wall must be 150mm below the Damp Proof Course. My next door neighbour has placed shingle on a plastic sheet such that at the highest it is over the level of the DPC. Water ingresses my garage, flooding the floor.

Answer:First does he know he has caused a problem, have you told him you are getting water in as a result? I would speak to him, to give him a chance to do something about it. If this fails, contact your local council offices, most in the UK will have a website and email addressses, usually www. (whatever council district).gov.org.

Whos Responsible For Building Regs And Planning Permission?

I have had a builder do work on my home: i.e. replace a floor and build an extension. However he has not applied for building regs so it has not been inspetced. Also I have since found out that I am in a conservation area and require planning permission for the extension. what can I do....

Answer:It may be your responsibility to know if/when you need a permit to build but it is also the responsibility of your builder. He does it for a living and should know better. He will also be fined for doing work without a permit. Your only legal leg to stand on is if you asked and he told you that you didn't need one. Even then, it's his word againstt yours. A contractor who doesn't pull a permit is one that is hiding something. There is probably something wrong theree.
