Building warrant

Building rules in Pitlochry
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.
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.
