Building Regulations (UK)

Building Regulations in the UK are legal standards designed to ensure that new buildings and renovations are safe, accessible, energy-efficient, and environmentally sustainable. They cover aspects like structural integrity, fire safety, insulation, ventilation, and accessibility for all users. Compliance is typically required before obtaining planning or building approval, and inspections ensure standards are met throughout construction. These regulations help protect occupants and the public, promote quality building practices, and support long-term sustainability goals across the construction industry.
