The building regulations set out requirements for specific aspects of building design and construction, such as; health, structural stability, fire safety, energy conservation and accessibility.

In Northern Ireland, the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 are made by the Department of Finance and Personnel (DFP), which also publishes technical guidance booklets which they recommended are followed during the course of construction.

Local councils have a statutory duty to enforce the building regulations by assessing plans submitted and through site inspections. When construction has finished and a building is completed, a certificate of completion will be granted by building control if they are satisfied that all the necessary building regulations have been adhered to.

[http://www.buildingcontrol-ni.com/ Building Control Northern Ireland] is responsible for ensuring that the building regulations are enforced by local councils. This is a voluntary umbrella group of the 26 council departments and five Group Building Control Offices. The Group Units have statutory role monitoring and co-ordinating the work of the Councils in their area, to ensure uniformity and consistency in the interpretation, application and enforcement.

Building regulations are applicable to the majority of building works and an application is required before beginning work. Applications are needed for:
*New builds.
*Dwellings.
*Detached garages (over 30m<sup>2 </sup>floor area).
*Extensions to existing properties.
*Alterations to a building’s structure.
*Removal of walls.
*Installation of patio doors.
*Conversion of roof space.
*Attached garages.
*Thermal alterations.
*Cavity wall installation.
*Removal of thermal elements.
*Alteration of use of a building.
*Installation of works and fittings.
*Drainage alterations.
*Mains powered smoke detectors.
*Pressurised domestic hot water systems.
*Building work affecting fire safety.
*Work of a minor nature, including installing heating appliances and systems.
*Some repair work to buildings.

Applications can be Full Plans applications, where a ‘Notice of Passing of Plans’ is obtained for the design shown on drawings, or a building notice application (sometimes permitted for domestic proposals) where work is carried out without the submission of full plans but is inspected on site.

It is advisable to contact the [http://www.buildingcontrol-ni.com/contact/ local Building Control Services] to determine the appropriate application form and to discuss projects before making an application.
