Abstract

These procedures provide for the Secretary of State/NAW to adjudicate in disputes arising between people carrying out building work subject to the requirements of the Building Regulations and a local authority or a private sector approved inspector. The guide is. intended for anyone proposing to carry out building work - including designers, builders, and professional advisers who may be acting in a representative capacity - who is seeking to ensure that their work complies with the Building Regulations but has run into difficulties. Local building control authorities and approved inspectors may also find it a useful reference source. There is a ‘key points’ section and a table indicating the main stages of the procedures at the back of the guide which may be particularly helpful to those less familiar with the procedures such as individual householders and property owners acting on their own account.

Document History
