Building rules in Montrose
Steel beam work in Montrose needs a building warrant from Angus Council. The structural design is part of the application, and the council's building standards team accepts the completion certificate once the work is done as approved.
Scotland has no Party Wall Act. Work affecting a shared wall is governed by your title deeds and the general law, and in flats by the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, so it is sensible to agree the work with neighbours in writing before starting.
