Building warrants
Please note: Please take a couple of minutes to take the Scottish Governments National Building Standards Customer Survey. Thank you.
A building warrant is the legal permission to start building work, or to convert or demolish a building. If you carry out work that requires building warrant without first getting a warrant, you are committing an offence. Verifiers are responsible for issuing building warrants. In assessing your application for a warrant, they must apply the standards set by the building regulations at the date of your application.
The Building Regulations set down the minimum requirements that must be observed by anyone intending to carry out any of the following building works:
- alter or extend an existing building
- convert a building
- demolish a building
If you propose to carry out such works within North Ayrshire, you need permission in the form of a building warrant from North Ayrshire Council Building Standards.
Please note: The Scottish Government provides guidance to support applicants and agents when submitting a building warrant application.
