Legislation
As of 1 May 2005, the Building (Scotland) Act 2003 came into
force in Scotland at which time Building Control became known as
Building Standards. Find out more about this
legislation which has modernised the service to meet
current practice and introduced greater flexibility to the
designers in terms of complying with building standards
regulations.

Feedback/ Focus Groups
We are committed to providing high quality services and
regularly review our practices. It is very helpful to have feedback
from our service users, be it positive or highlighting
deficiencies. Please do not hesitate in expressing your views,
which you may do by e-mail, phone, fax or letter. Another way of
influencing our service is to participate in our annual Focus Group
meetings which we seek to hold in November each year. The focus
group allows face to face discussions in a friendly and
relaxed manner.
