The FAQs is intended to help anyone who is unfamiliar with the building standards system in Scotland and deals only with the building standards system. You should be aware that other statutory requirements may also apply to the work proposed, such as planning permission, fire certificates or licensing. Planning permission is a separate matter and further guidance may be obtained from your local authority or from the Scottish Government planning website.
If the FAQ does not answer your question, please contact your local authority Building Standards office.
