How do I agree a building control fee amount?

An application fee will need to be agreed with the building control body that you submit to, and you will need to enter the agreed fee amount into the application. If you don’t already have a fee amount agreed when you come to start your application, you can request one through the on-screen prompts within the application journey.

From the application overview screen, choose ‘Manage fee’, you will be asked ‘do you have a confirmed fee?’ if yes, you can enter the agreed fee and if you have one, a reference number from the building control body.

If you don’t have a fee agreed, choose no and answer questions relating to your application. This will enable the building control body to ascertain a fee. They will receive a notification that you have requested a fee amount, which they can calculate and provide to you by email. When you receive the fee amount you can enter the value in your application.

Please ensure you enter the fee amount including VAT, except for a Regularisation Certificate which is VAT exempt.
