Building rules in East Dunbartonshire
In Scotland, structural alterations need a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Act 2003, and work must not start until the warrant is granted. For East Dunbartonshire, warrants are handled by East Dunbartonshire Council's building standards service. When the work is finished, a completion certificate is submitted and has to be accepted by the council.
There is no party wall notice system in Scotland. Instead, check your title deeds and, for flats, the tenement management scheme, and talk to neighbours early if the beam bears into a shared wall.
