What can I use this service for?
This tool works out how much your building standards application(s) will likely cost. It also calculates any discounts you may qualify for.
Calculating the fee beforehand ensures that you are prepared with the necessary funds and helps avoid any delays in the application process.
You will not have to pay related fees if the work you plan to do aims solely to make a development suitable for disabled people. If this sounds like you, you can apply for the relevant Building Standards consents via the eBuildingStandards portal.Your fee will be estimated
The fees obtained from using this service should be treated as an estimate only.
We recommend contacting your Local Authority Building Standards Team directly if you have questions about the application or wish to confirm the fee.
Before you start
Before using the building standards fee calculator, have the following information ready:
- the type of application you wish to make
- what the work will involve (such as the type and scale of work)
- the value of the work being undertaken
- if you have any Certificates of Design or Construction
Holding one or more Certificates of Design or Construction offers several benefits: certified compliance with regulations, shorter application processing times, and a discount on building warrant fees.
You may be eligible if you are an architect, engineer, or tradesperson. Visit SBSC for more information.
The more information you can provide us with, the more accurately we can estimate your fee.
