The main purpose of Building Standards is to administer the Building (Scotland) Regulations in order to:

  • Secure the health, safety, welfare and convenience of persons in or about buildings;
  • Further the conservation of fuel and power;
  • Further the achievement of sustainable development.

The regulations apply to the erection, alteration, extension, demolition or conversion of a building or buildings.

The processing of Building Warrant applications is a major part of the work done by the Building Standards Service. Other work includes Houses in Multiple Occupation, Licensing, Defective and Dangerous Buildings.
