Frequently Asked Questions

Introduction

The FAQ is intended to help anyone who is unfamiliar with the building standards system in Scotland.

This guidance deals only with the building standards system and 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.
