A building warrant is the Scottish equivalent of building regulations approval. It is legally required for virtually all extension work including single-storey rear extensions, two-storey builds, loft conversions, and structural alterations. You submit plans to your local council before work begins. Fees range from £150–£500. Your builder should handle this but it's your responsibility to ensure it's in place.

Single-storey rear extensions typically take 3–4 months, two-storey extensions 4–6 months, loft conversions 6–8 weeks, and garage conversions 3–4 weeks. Add 6–10 weeks for planning and building warrant approvals. Scottish weather can cause delays, particularly for groundwork and roofing.
