A Building Warrant is issued by the local Building Control office after they have reviewed all the detailed design information for the new home. Once the building control office has verified that the building design complies with all the sections of the national building regulations they will issue a building warrant which will allow work to begin on-site.

Budget, budget, budget. Getting on top of your self build home costs.
According to the Homebuilding & Renovating Self & Custom Build Market Report 2017, more than half of self build projects go over budget.
In fact, researchers surveyed over 500 self builders and reported that projects typically went over budget by a whopping 20% - so on a £250,000 project, that means spending an extra £50,000. That’s a lot of money to find, never mind at the end of a build.
