planning process

building control
with the exception of minor works, almost all construction is subject to ‘building control’ inspection and certification
structural engineering
any structural alteration requires the consideration and calculations of a structural engineer for approval by building control
construction process
once all design approvals and party wall awards are secured the various construction process may commence
always there
