What you must do
68 compliance obligations under this legislation.
Risk assessment 1
Analyse and document high‑efficiency energy options before building
If you are the contractor building a new structure in Northern Ireland, you must look at and document whether renewable or high‑efficiency energy systems (like heat pumps, cogeneration or district heating) could be used. The analysis must weigh technical, environmental and cost factors and be completed before construction starts.
Equipment and safety 5
Fit safety devices on unvented hot‑water tanks >15 L
Unlimited fineIf you install or use a hot‑water storage tank larger than 15 litres that does not have a vent to the atmosphere, you must fit devices that stop the water getting hotter than 100 °C, control and relieve pressure, and make sure any safety‑device discharge is safely directed to a visible spot where it cannot harm anyone.
Install carbon‑monoxide detection and warning in dwellings
Unlimited fineIf you install a fuel‑burning appliance in a house, you must make sure a carbon‑monoxide detector or alarm is fitted that will warn occupants when CO levels become dangerous. The detector should be installed and working at the time the appliance is put in place.
Install combustion appliances with adequate air supply
Unlimited fineWhen you fit a boiler, heater or any other combustion device, you must make sure it gets enough fresh air so it works safely and efficiently. This also covers the air needed for the flue. Failing to do this can create a fire or carbon‑monoxide risk and breach the Building Regulations.
Provide adequate ventilation for each car park space
Unlimited fineIf you are building, extending or refurbishing a car park, you must make sure every parking space has sufficient ventilation – through vents, fans or natural airflow – that meets the Building Regulations. You need to design, install and certify a system that covers each space before the car park can be used.
Provide automatic fire‑suppression system in required buildings
Unlimited fineIf you are building a block of flats or purpose‑built student accommodation taller than 11 m, or a residential care premises, you must design the building and install a suitable automatic fire‑suppression system. This means the fire‑suppression equipment has to be part of the design and fitted before the building is finished and approved.
Management duties 54
Affix performance notice to hearth, flue or chimney
Unlimited fineIf your business installs or extends a hearth, fireplace, flue or chimney, you must attach a durable notice that clearly states the unit’s performance capabilities. The notice must be placed in a suitable location in the building so that any future combustion appliance can be safely connected.
Allow council officer to take material samples
Unlimited fineIf a district‑council authorised officer asks to take samples of the materials you are using (or plan to use) in a building project, you must let them do so at reasonable times. This lets the council check that the materials meet the Building Regulations, helping you avoid enforcement action.
Avoid using in‑situ urea formaldehyde foam in building work except approved cavity‑wall filling
You must not use in‑situ foamed urea formaldehyde when constructing, altering or extending a building. The only time it can be used is to fill the cavity of a cavity wall whose inner leaf is made of bricks or blocks, and only if the foam is suitable for that purpose and is installed correctly.
Build walls, floors and roofs to stop moisture ingress
Unlimited fineWhen you carry out building work in Northern Ireland you must make sure every wall, floor and roof is constructed so that moisture from the ground or the weather cannot get into the building and cause damage or harm to occupants. This means using suitable damp‑proof courses, membranes, flashing and appropriate construction methods and checking that they are installed correctly before the building is occupied.
Carry out consequential improvements for large building works
If you plan to extend, add a new fixed service or increase a service in an existing building larger than 1,000 m², you must also make any necessary upgrades so the building meets the conservation requirements of regulation 39, wherever it is technically and economically feasible. This means you need to plan and carry out those extra works as part of your project.
Carry out work to meet energy‑efficiency standards after any change of energy status
Unlimited fineIf the way a building uses energy changes – for example because of a change of use, extension or major refurbishment – you must arrange and carry out any work needed to bring the building into line with the energy‑efficiency requirements set out in regulation 39. This means planning, commissioning and completing the necessary upgrades or alterations and keeping a record that they have been done.
Construct and protect oil storage tanks to prevent pollution
Unlimited fineIf your business installs or builds an oil storage tank and its pipework, you must design, construct and protect them so that an oil leak is unlikely and, if it does happen, the environment is not polluted. This means using appropriate materials, secondary containment, protective coatings and regular checks to keep the system safe.
Design and build common areas to limit reverberation
Unlimited fineIf you are responsible for designing or constructing the shared internal parts of a block of flats or other residential rooms, you must make sure those spaces are designed and built so that echoes are kept at a reasonable level. In practice this means using acoustic design methods and construction details that control sound reflections in hallways, stairwells and other common areas.
Design and build external walls/roof to resist fire spread
Unlimited fineYou must make sure that any external walls and roofs on a building are designed and built so they can stop fire spreading across them and jumping to neighbouring buildings. The design has to take into account how the building is used, where it is located and, for walls, its height. This applies to every new build or major renovation that falls under the Building Regulations.
Design and build loading bays to prevent vehicle‑person collisions
Unlimited fineIf your business is involved in designing or constructing a vehicle loading bay, you must make sure the bay is built in a way that reduces the chance of people being hit by a vehicle. This means using safe layouts, appropriate barriers or markings and following the Building Regulations throughout the design and construction stages.
Design and build to prevent interstitial condensation
Unlimited fineWhen you design or construct a building that falls under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), you must make sure it is built so moisture trapped inside the fabric cannot cause damage. In practice this means using suitable materials, ventilation and construction methods to avoid condensation problems, as far as reasonably practicable.
Design and construct buildings to avoid disproportionate collapse
Unlimited fineWhen you design or build a building you must make sure that if part of it is damaged the resulting collapse is limited to what the damage would reasonably cause – the whole structure should not come down unnecessarily. In practice this means using appropriate structural design calculations and construction methods and checking the building’s robustness throughout the project.
Design and construct buildings to limit internal fire spread
Unlimited fineYou must make sure any building you design or build stays stable for a reasonable period in a fire and prevents fire, smoke and heat from spreading quickly through walls, compartments and concealed spaces. This means using fire‑resistant materials, proper compartmentation and suitable construction details throughout the structure.
Design and construct buildings to safely resist loads
Unlimited fineYou must make sure any building you design or build can safely carry its own weight, any imposed loads and wind forces, and that these forces are transferred to the ground without endangering nearby structures. In practice this means carrying out proper structural calculations, ground investigations and supervising construction to meet the stability requirement.
Design and install domestic hot‑water systems to limit temperature
When you design or install a domestic hot‑water system you must include measures that stop the water from becoming excessively hot. Any fixed bath must not receive water hotter than 48 °C, so you need to fit thermostatic controls, mixing valves or other temperature‑limiting devices and verify the temperature before it’s put into use.
Ensure cesspools and septic tanks are correctly built and sited
Unlimited fineIf you are installing a cesspool, septic tank or similar structure you must build it so no liquid can leak in or out, site it away from drinking‑water sources and occupied buildings, and provide safe access for cleaning that does not pass through occupied premises. The structure must meet the size, depth, cover, venting and inspection requirements set out in the regulations.
Ensure heating/cooking appliances are capable of smokeless burning
Unlimited fineIf you install a boiler, stove or similar appliance for heating or cooking that vents to the outside, you must make sure it can burn fuel without producing smoke, or can be easily modified to do so. The rule does not apply to furnaces that already meet the Clean Air Order requirements or to appliances that are exempt under that Order.
Ensure internal linings resist fire spread and limit heat release
Unlimited fineWhen you are building or refurbishing a property you must choose and install internal wall and ceiling linings that stop flames spreading across their surfaces. If the lining is in a corridor or other circulation area it must also release heat slowly or not allow fire to grow quickly. This means specifying fire‑rated materials and keeping records that they meet the required test standards.
Ensure new buildings meet nearly‑zero‑energy standards
Unlimited fineIf you are having a new building constructed, the law requires it to be a nearly‑zero‑energy building. This applies to all private‑sector projects completed after 31 December 2020 (and to public‑authority buildings from 1 January 2019). You must plan, design and build the property so it meets the energy‑performance criteria set out in the regulations.
Ensure renovated thermal elements meet insulation standards
Unlimited fineIf you are carrying out a major renovation, or you are renovating more than half of a wall, roof or other thermal element, you must make sure the whole element meets the insulation requirement of regulation 39(a)(i), wherever this is technically, functionally and economically possible. This means you may need to upgrade the whole element, not just the part you are working on.
Ensure safe construction and separation of liquid fuel storage tanks
If your business installs or builds a liquid fuel storage tank and its pipework, you must make sure they are constructed and placed far enough away from other buildings and the site boundary to keep the risk of the fuel igniting in a fire in a neighbouring building at a reasonable level. In practice this means planning the tank location, using suitable construction methods and maintaining adequate clearances.
Ensure sanitary appliances meet required standards
When you design, install or maintain a building's toilets, washbasins, showers and similar fixtures, you must make sure they have smooth, easy‑to‑clean surfaces, proper traps, hot‑and‑cold water supplies, effective flushing, a grating on urinals, and that any macerator or pump system safely carries waste to an underground foul‑drain. Failing to meet these specifications breaches the Building Regulations.
Ensure stairs, ladders, ramps and landings are reasonably safe
Unlimited fineYou must make sure any stairs, ladders, ramps and their landings in a building you design, construct or maintain are safe for people to use. This means planning, building and checking them against reasonable safety standards and keeping records that show they meet those standards.
Ensure windows and skylights can be opened safely
Unlimited fineWhen you design, install or replace a window, skylight or ventilator, you must make sure it can be opened, closed and adjusted without risk. Use safe hardware, fit it correctly and test it before the building is handed over.
Fit doors and gates with safety‑view and anti‑trap features
Unlimited fineIf you are responsible for designing, constructing or maintaining a building, any door or gate that is on a main route, can be opened from both sides, slides or lifts up, or is powered must be fitted so people can see what is on the other side, it cannot fall or slide onto someone, and it must open if the power fails. You need to check the design and install appropriate safety devices and keep records that they work.
Install combustion appliances and flues safely
When you fit a boiler, heater or any other combustion device, you must make sure it and its flue, pipe or chimney are installed so that exhaust gases are discharged to the outside without creating a health risk. This means planning the installation, using suitable materials and checking the finished work before it’s used. Failure to do so could breach the Building Regulations.
Install combustion appliances safely to prevent burns and fire damage
Unlimited fineWhen you put in a boiler, stove, fireplace or any other fuel‑burning appliance, you must make sure it and its flue, chimney or hearth are designed and fitted so they cannot cause burns to anyone or start a fire that damages the building. This means using qualified installers, checking the design and keeping records that the work meets the Building Regulations.
Limit risk of injuries from impact with glazing
Unlimited fineWhen you design, specify or install windows, doors or other glazed elements you must ensure they are fitted or chosen so that people are unlikely to be cut or pierced if they accidentally hit the glass. This means using safety glass, laminated glazing, protective film, bars or other protective measures wherever required.
Make transparent glazing clearly visible
When you install glass or other clear panels that people might not notice, you must ensure they have visible features (such as markings, tinting or texturing) so that anyone moving around the building can see them and avoid collisions. This applies to any transparent glazing that could be a hidden hazard in passageways or circulation areas.
Meet the target COâ‚‚ emission rate for new buildings and extensions
When you build a new building or extend a non‑dwelling, you must calculate a target carbon‑dioxide emission rate using the approved national method and then design and build the work so it does not exceed that target. In practice this means producing a calculation report and ensuring the construction specifications keep the building within the allowed emissions.
Prepare site and prevent contaminants (including radon)
Unlimited fineWhen you are building or altering a property you must make sure the ground is investigated and treated so that soil, any contaminant, or radon cannot harm the building or the people using it. This means carrying out appropriate surveys, remediation works and, where needed, radon‑mitigation before construction starts. Failing to do so can lead to criminal prosecution.
Provide adequate acoustic conditions in school rooms
Unlimited fineWhen you are responsible for designing or building a school, you must make sure every classroom or space is designed and constructed so that it provides suitable sound quality and limits the transmission of noise, matched to how the room will be used. In practice this means incorporating acoustic design specifications and checking that the finished construction meets those standards.
Provide adequate drainage systems for new or altered buildings
Unlimited fineWhen you have a building work carried out, you must make sure the building includes proper sanitary pipework, foul waste drainage and rainwater drainage so that waste water is disposed of hygienically. This means specifying, installing and getting approval for drainage systems as part of the construction project.
Provide adequate fire detection, warning and escape in building design and construction
Unlimited fineWhen you design or build a building you must make sure it has reliable automatic fire detection, an effective way to warn occupants, and safe escape routes that can be used at any time. This means planning the fire‑safety systems as part of the design and checking that the construction follows those plans.
Provide adequate guarding to prevent falls
Unlimited fineYou must fit safe barriers on stairs, ladders, ramps, balconies, roofs and any other places people can access when there is a risk of someone falling. The same applies to vehicle‑access areas where people could be present. The barriers must be designed so they do not create new hazards.
Provide adequate site drainage or protect the building
Unlimited fineWhen you build or extend a property you must make sure the ground on the site and next to it is drained as far as reasonably practicable, or otherwise protect the building. This prevents groundwater or existing sub‑soil drainage from harming the structure or the health of the people who will use it.
Provide adequate ventilation and commission mechanical systems
Unlimited fineYou must make sure any building you build or manage has enough fresh air for the people using it. If you install a fixed mechanical ventilation system, you also have to have it tested and officially commissioned to confirm it meets the required standards before the building is occupied.
Provide a sanitary convenience on the entrance or principal storey
Unlimited fineWhen you build, extend or substantially remodel a house, you must make sure a toilet or bathroom is installed on the entrance (ground) floor. If the entrance floor has no living rooms, the toilet must be on the first (principal) floor. This is required to obtain a building‑control completion certificate and avoid enforcement action.
Provide compliant rainwater drainage system
Unlimited fineWhen you build or refurbish a property you must install rainwater drainage that is the right size, correctly laid out, watertight and properly ventilated so rainwater is safely conveyed to a sewer, soakaway or watercourse. You also need to make sure there are access points that let anyone clear blockages easily.
Provide compliant underground foul drainage
Unlimited fineIf your business is installing or constructing underground foul‑water drainage, you must make sure the pipes and fittings are the right size, correctly laid out, watertight and ventilated so foul water can be conveyed hygienically. You also need to include access points that let blockages be cleared easily. This is needed to meet the Building Regulations and to obtain a completion certificate.
Provide energy‑efficient design and services for new or altered buildings
Unlimited fineYou must make sure any building you are constructing or refurbishing uses fuel and power efficiently. This means limiting heat loss through the building fabric and services, installing energy‑efficient plant with good controls, and properly commissioning those systems before they are used.
Provide fire service facilities and access in building design and construction
If you are responsible for designing or building a property, you must make sure it includes reasonable facilities that help the fire‑and‑rescue service protect people in a fire. You also need to provide suitable access for fire appliances within the site boundaries, so fire crews can reach the building quickly and safely.
Provide high‑speed‑ready in‑building infrastructure and common access point
If you are carrying out building work, you must make sure the building is fitted with a high‑speed‑ready physical network right up to the network termination points. For multi‑dwelling buildings you also need to install a common access point for that infrastructure.
Provide hygienic solid waste storage and access
Unlimited fineYou must keep a clean, hygienic place for storing solid waste generated in your building and make sure people can reach it easily and that waste collectors can get to it without obstacles. This means having suitable bins or containers, clear pathways inside the building, and an unobstructed route to the outside collection point.
Provide independent access to building extensions
When you add an extension to a building, you must make sure there is a separate way to get into that extension without having to go through the original part of the building. This means you need to plan a dedicated entrance, staircase or lift that can be used on its own. Your business must include this independent access in the design and construction of any extension.
Provide reasonable access to building and its facilities
Unlimited fineWhen you build, extend or significantly alter a property you must make sure people can get into, move around and use the building and its services. For houses this only has to be achieved on the entrance floor (or the main floor if the entrance has no habitable room). In practice you need to plan and check that doors, corridors, lifts and other facilities are suitably sized and positioned.
Provide reasonable sound insulation for residential dwellings
Unlimited fineWhen you design or build a new flat, house or any residential room, you must make sure it resists the passage of noise from other parts of the same building and from adjoining buildings. In practice this means specifying and installing walls, floors, doors and other building elements that meet the required acoustic standards.
Provide required sanitary appliances in dwellings and buildings
Unlimited fineWhen you build or renovate a dwelling (or any other building that needs a bathroom) you must fit at least one toilet, one washbasin and a fixed bath or shower. The washbasin must be in the same room as the toilet or in an adjoining room that isn’t used for food preparation. You cannot use a macerator‑type toilet unless another standard toilet with a direct drain is also provided.
Provide safe access for cleaning glazing
Unlimited fineWhen you build, alter or repair a structure with windows, skylights or other glazed areas, you must make sure there is a reasonable way for cleaners to reach them safely. This means planning and installing ladders, platforms or other access systems that let cleaning work be done without risking falls or other hazards.
Provide safe and hygienic waste chute systems
Unlimited fineIf your business designs, installs or maintains a waste chute in a building, you must make sure it moves waste to the container safely and without causing hygiene problems. This means the system has to be properly designed, fitted and kept in good condition so that waste does not spill, cause injury or create health risks.
Provide safety measures for open windows, skylights and ventilators
Unlimited fineIf your building has any open windows, skylights or ventilators you must fit reasonable safeguards – such as guards, restrictors or screens – so that people moving around the building cannot accidentally run into them. The safety measures should be designed, installed and kept in good repair as part of the building work.
Provide sanitary pipework that safely carries foul water
When you install, modify or repair a building’s drainage, you must use pipes and fittings that are the right size, correctly laid out, well‑constructed and watertight, with adequate ventilation so foul water can flow to the underground system. You also need to provide access points that allow blockages to be cleared easily.
Provide sound resistance in internal walls and floors
When you build, extend or remodel a home or flat, you must make sure the walls that separate bedrooms and bathrooms and all internal floors are constructed to reduce airborne sound transmission. This keeps rooms quieter and meets the sound‑proofing standards set out in the Building Regulations.
Provide suitable sanitary facilities in building extensions
Unlimited fineIf your building already has toilets, sinks or other sanitary facilities, you must make sure that any extension you add also includes appropriate sanitary accommodation. In practice this means planning for, installing and commissioning toilets, washbasins, urinals, etc., in the new part of the building to the same standard as the existing ones. Failure to do so can lead to criminal prosecution.
Notifications 8
Arrange sound‑insulation testing and report results to council
If the building work you are carrying out is covered by Regulation 49’s sound‑insulation rules, you must have an approved acoustic test done and then send a written notice of the test results to the district council within five days.
Notify council of ventilation test results within 5 days
After you finish testing and commissioning a fixed mechanical ventilation system in a building, you must send a written notice to the local district council within five days. The notice must include the airflow test results and confirm that the system and its controls have been commissioned. This keeps the council informed that the building complies with the ventilation regulations.
Notify district council of air pressure test result
If you carry out an air pressure test to prove compliance with regulation 40(2), you must send a written notice to the district council stating the test result. The notice has to be sent no later than five days after the test is finished.
Notify district council of building’s CO₂ emission rate
After your building work is finished, you must send a written notice to the local district council within 5 days. The notice must include the target COâ‚‚ emission rate, the actual calculated rate for the constructed building, and any major differences between the built specifications and the original design.
Notify owner and council after commissioning
When you finish commissioning the fixed building services in a building, you must send a written notice within 5 days. One copy goes to the building owner confirming the services are commissioned, and another goes to the district council confirming that you have notified the owner. This keeps the building owner and the council aware that the work meets the required standards.
Provide fire safety info and notify council for relevant premises work
If you are carrying out building work on a premises that is classified as a relevant premises or that contains flats, you must give the person responsible for fire safety in that building all the fire‑safety information they need before the building is finished or occupied. Then, within five days of doing that, you must send a written notice to the district council confirming you have supplied the information.
Provide post‑completion information notice
After you finish work that falls under Regulation 39, you must send a written notice within five days. The notice must give the building owner enough detail about the building and its fixed services so it can be run efficiently and maintain fuel‑saving measures, and you must also confirm to the district council that this information has been provided.
Provide ventilation system information to owner and council
After you finish work that falls under regulation 65(1), you must send a written notice to the building’s owner within five days, explaining how the ventilation system works and how it should be maintained. You also need to confirm to the district council that you have supplied this information.
