New Building Regulation Charges from 1st October 2010
Building Control Services, 6th Floor, Town Hall Extension, King Street, London, W6 9JU
A new Charges Scheme comes into effect on the 1st October 2010.
The objective of this new scheme is to ensure recovery of all costs incurred by the Council in performing its functions under the Building Regulations.
The cost of the service has been calculated using an hourly rate for the officer’s time and consideration of relevant factors relating to the building work in question, in estimating the time to be spent on performing its function.
The vast majority of the smaller projects undertaken in the borough will be covered by Standard Charges. These charges have been assessed on the basis that the building work does not consist of, or include innovative or high risk construction techniques and the duration of the building work from commencement to completion does not exceed 12 months. They have also been set on the basis Approved Documents have been used as guidance in achieving compliance with the Building Regulations. If this is not the case then the work may incur supplementary charges either as a result of additional inspections necessary to ascertain compliance and/or additional resources necessary to check plans deposited.
For work that is not covered by a standard charge, the Council can determine an Assessed Charge for an individual project.
