Building Control & Engineering Services
For any building over 30 square metres, there is a legal requirement to ensure your building complies with Building Regulations.In most cases a standard single garage manufactured from either concrete, timber or steel, would not meet this requirement. It tends to be larger commercial projects where we are able to help our customers through the process of complying with Building Control.

What is Building Control?
The main function of Building Control is to ensure compliance with the building regulations. This function is carried out by a Building Control Body (BCB), either the local authority building control service or a private sector Approved Inspector (AI). Certain types of building work can be self-certificated as compliant with building regulations by a member of a Competent Person Scheme without the need to notify a BCB.
The general advice is to always discuss your proposals with the relevant BCB before starting any building work. Local authorities have a duty to implement and enforce building regulations within their own areas, so if you have a general enquiry about the regulations you should firstly contact your local authority or speak to garagequotes.com for help on a particular project.
