= Introduction =

The Building Act 1984 imposes a set of design and construction requirements (regulations) on owners and occupiers of buildings. However, some building classes and types may not have to satisfy the Act and if so, are exempt. (NB: The Act does not apply to Scotland and Northern Ireland).

Compliance with the Act is crucial as those who contravene it and its associated Building Regulations may, if convicted, face a heavy fine or even imprisonment. It is therefore essential to ensure that if a building is thought to be exempt, exemption really does apply and advice sought from the appropriate authority.

= Exemptions =

The following classes of building are exempt from the regulations:

* Public bodies – e.g local authorities, county councils and other bodies acting under an enactment for the public good and not for profit. However, this is a grey area and advice should be sought if there is any uncertainty as to whether exemption applies.
* Buildings belonging to ‘statutory undertakers’ – e.g utilities.
* Buildings belonging to (or occupied by) UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA). (NB: dwelling houses and offices are not exempt).
* Buildings belonging to (or occupied by) the British Airports Authority (NB: dwelling houses, hostels, offices or showrooms are not exempt).
* Buildings belonging to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) (NB: Houses, hotels, offices and showrooms are not exempt).

== Crown buildings ==

Many of the requirements of the Building Regulations apply to Crown Buildings. But there are a few deviations and therefore the advice of the Treasury should be sought when work is to be undertaken on a Crown building.

(By ‘Crown’ is meant buildings where the Crown, the Duchy of Lancaster or the Duchy of Cornwall have an interest in the building).

== Buildings in Inner London ==

Buildings in the boroughs of Inner London are subject to the requirements of the Building Regulations but in a few circumstances some of the regulations may not apply. The advice of the local authority in question should be sought prior to submitting drawings.
