Part 3: Building Act 1984 Building control approvers and building inspectors Section 44: Functions exercisable only through, or with advice of, registered building inspectors Effect in Wales
This section will operate similarly in Wales such that some building control authority functions will be specified as functions which building control authorities (defined as relevant local authorities for Wales) or registered building control approvers will only be able to carry out having first obtained and considered the advice of a registered building inspector. For higher-risk buildings the relevant local authority will be the building control authority, not the Building Safety Regulator.
