Under building regulations, you must notify the council of the official date your construction work begins. You must submit this notice at least 48 hours before any building work starts on site. This legal requirement applies to every project, whether you are a homeowner, builder, or project manager.
Use this form to let us know before you start building work on site. This allows our Building Control team to record your official start date and arrange your required site inspections.
The Building Regulations 2010 (as amended) requires the client, including domestic clients, to advise us of the date they consider work to be commenced in line with the relevant definition.
