Building rules in Blairgowrie
Scottish rules are stricter on timing than in England: the building warrant must be in place before the wall is touched. We prepare the application with the engineer's calculations and submit it to Perth and Kinross Council. The finished work is then certified and a completion certificate submitted for acceptance.
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.

Steel beams in Blairgowrie: questions
How soon can steel beam installation start in Blairgowrie?
Start dates depend on the engineer's calculations, the building warrant and any agreement needed with neighbours. We give you a realistic timetable after the survey and keep you updated as each approval comes through.
Can you work on older or listed homes in Blairgowrie?
Yes. Older homes often have lime mortar, timber lintels or shallow footings, which the engineer allows for. Listed buildings need listed building consent for internal structural changes as well as building regulations approval, and that must be in place first.
