The length and nature of the plan checking process, as well as the number and complexity of statutory and routine progress site inspections, will usually increase as a direct result of the size and complexity of the scheme, for example fire safety checks and requirements, disabled access and facilities, and building services inspections.The level of charges will therefore increase proportionally, as fairer recognition of the greater involvement of Building Control, through both the plan checking and site inspection process.

For comparison purposes, the estimated cost of works for particular building uses, will be determined by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors Building Cost Information Service.

This provides an indication of the construction costs where a detailed estimate cannot be provided. These rates should be used for calculating Building Regulation Charges. These rates are regularly reviewed and updated.
