Useful Information
When initiating your commercial refurbishment or office fit-out project, as the client you have responsibilities to ensure the work is carried out to meet the current standards. The role of building control is to maintain high standards within the construction industry, by ensuring that all building work is carried out to meet current building regulation requirements.

Role of Building Regulations
A building control application is a requirement for some projects, depending on the type of works to be undertaken and the responsibility of complying with building regulations sits with the client (building owner). It is imperative to work with a fit-out specialist, like Meridian Interiors, who have a wealth of experience of working within the commercial interiors sector.
Key Points:
- To set standards that buildings are designed and constructed to.
- To ensure the health and safety of all people who will occupy and use the building and surrounding environment.
- To help conserve fuel and power by supporting the use of energy efficient and sustainable products.
How can Meridian Interiors help?
1. We can make the application on your behalf.
Remember it’s the building owner who is served with the enforcement notice if the building works fail to comply with the requirements, it’s imperative you work with an office fit-out specialist you can trust.
2. We will establish a connection with our building control consultant.
As part of Meridian’s ‘Workplace Consultancy‘ service, we work closely with our approved inspectors at the pre-contract stage, to ensure a smooth transition to the construction phase.
3. We will develop drawings and designs.
Upon commencement of your project, our in-house team will assist with the designs and drawings to meet the required standards in readiness to present to the approved inspector.
4. We will help you achieve ‘end of project’ sign off.
Our support includes the development of ‘As-Built’ drawings for building control sign-off upon completion of your project. We then provide you with certification for the project’s completion.
