Internal Alterations: The Building Notice Process
When making internal structural changes to your property, you will need to submit a building notice to either your local authority building control or a private building control company. The building notice is a short form typically found on the local authority’s website.

As part of this application, you must provide structural calculations and structural drawings prepared by a structural engineer. These documents are critical in ensuring your project complies with Part A of the Building Regulations, which focuses on structural safety.

Building Control Checks
Building control may check the structural design through their technical staff or by consulting a third-party structural engineer.

Site Inspections
Building control will inspect the site at various stages to ensure that the contractor has followed the structural plans correctly.

Building Regulations Compliance
In addition to checking the structure, building control will assist with other Building Regulations requirements beyond structural elements.

We provide these Structural Calculations and Drawings for the following:

• Wall Removals
• Loft Conversions
• Extensions
• Internal Alterations
• Retaining Walls
• Temporary Works
