Competent persons scheme
The competent persons scheme means some types of building work can be self-certified instead of applying for approval. Read more about the competent persons scheme and which organisations are part of it.
Work exempt from building regulations
Some work is exempt from building regulations. In some cases these works do not need building regulations approval. You should submit the relevant form and we will send you conformation that you are exempt, or an application form.
