These regulations apply to most types of building work, including new constructions, extensions, alterations, and conversions. The regulations cover various aspects of construction, such as structural integrity, fire safety, energy conservation, ventilation, and accessibility, among others. Compliance with the Building Regulations is mandatory, and failure to adhere to them may result in legal consequences and difficulties in obtaining necessary approvals for construction projects.
