Dutyholders

Changes to building regulations legislation in 2023 formally created 'dutyholders', who are legally responsible for building regulation compliance. The information here explains what has changed.

Completion of work

Each dutyholder involved in the construction phase must provide compliance declarations to Building Control to:

  • confirm that they have fulfilled their duties
  • confirm to the best of their knowledge that the works comply with the Building Regulations

The completion of work form will be sent to you with your acknowledgement letter. If you require another copym please contact us.

Email: build.control@luton.gov.uk

The declaration form contains the following information:

  • the client's name, address, telephone number and email address
  • the designer and contractor names, addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses
  • a statement that the building work is complete
  • a signed statement that, to the best of your knowledge, the building work complies with the building regulations
  • a signed statement from the designer and contractor that they have fulfilled their duties under the building regulations 

We cannot issue the completion certificate without receiving these declarations.

A final inspection should be arranged when dutyholders are satisfied that the works are complete and comply with the building regulations. All necessary commissioning certificates and test results should be submitted as soon as practicable to Building Control.
