BUILDING WARRANTS
Building warrants ensure that new buildings or alterations to existing buildings comply with the building regulations applicable to the work. They are obtained from the relevant local authority, who will inspect the design, completed work and then issue a certificate of completion when the work is satisfactory. This provides a guarantee of compliance with the regulations, ensuring that the building is safe and fit for purpose.
​
Blue Fox Engineering Ltd. helps provide its clients with the design stage by providing a full structural design package either directly, or through an architect in order to satisfy the local council's requirements.
​
For a lot of projects we will recommend that you get in touch with an architect in order to first meet Planning Permission requirements, and to cover architectural points where they may arise for the building warrant submission.
