Building Standards Register

As verifiers in terms of Section 24 of the Building (Scotland) Act 2003 we maintain a register of Building Warrants, Completion Certificates and Enforcement Notices.

The online building standards register (opens new window) allows you to search for, or check the status of a building warrant, completion certificate submission or enforcement case for a property. The information contained within this online register dates back to January 1986.

• Details on how to apply for a copy document relating to a building warrant can be found here.

The Building Standards Register is split into two parts.

Part 1 contains property data and is available online to anyone.

Part 2 contains supporting documents, specification and plans is available for viewing with certain restrictions. Viewing (which is by appointment only) can be arranged at Civic Centre, Howden South Road, Livingston by contacting Building Standards.
