Building Standards
- Secure the health, safety welfare and convenience of persons in and around buildings.
- Further the conservation of fuel and power
- Further the achievement of sustainable development.
Aberdeen City Council fulfils 2 roles in this context:
Firstly as verifier to protect the public interest where applications for building warrant to construct, alter, extend, convert, provide services, fittings or equipment to buildings or demolish buildings have been or are about to be made.
Secondly, to enforce building legislation in respect of building work carried out without approval and to ensure public safety in respect of dangerous and defective buildings through enforcement processes.
