When do Building Regulations apply?
This paper considers whether and when building regulations apply when reinstating a damaged property as part of an insurance claim. See also the associated CILA paper “The Public Authorities Clause”.
The writer highlights key aspects of the Building Regulations 2010 which loss adjusters may want to familiarise themselves with, including the definition of what is meant by the term “building work”, thermal elements and controlled services. The wording of insurance policies is considered along with the practicalities of resolving such issues and working with Building Control Officers.
