Building Regulations Information
Typically, detached timber buildings such as garages are exempt from most building regulations. However, there are some important considerations:
Small Size Exemption: Building regulations typically do not apply to wooden garage designs if the floor area is under 15 square metres and there are no sleeping accommodations.
Moderate Size Exception: Garages sized 15-30 square meters usually don’t need building regulations approval if there’s no sleeping area and they are at least one metre from property boundaries or primarily made from non-combustible materials.
Attached Garages: If you’re building a garage connected to your home, it typically requires building regulations approval, regardless of size.
Conversion Rules: Converting an attached garage into a habitable space usually requires building regulations compliance. Some structures might be exempt based on specific criteria outlined on the Planning Portal.
If building regulations are necessary for your wooden garage, it must meet reasonable construction standards. Rest assured, our team will be there to guide you through these requirements.
