Applications
We recommend that all customers submit applications using the eBuilding Standards Portal. This will give us the best chance of ensuring we can deliver our services to you.
If you have already submitted a planning application and you wish to submit further information required to validate your application, or post-validation drawings; or if you have already obtained a building warrant and you wish to apply for an amendment, extend the warrant or submit a completion certificate, these can also be done through the portal.
Payments
In addition to accepting online payments for applications made through the online portals we are able to accept payments over the phone. Please call 01382 433304.
Communication
If you have a current building warrant application please contact the case officer directly.
General enquiries for building standard matters can be directed to bs@dundeecity.gov.uk or 01382 433102.
For further information regarding building warrant applications, please check the 'Making a Building Warrant Application' webpages as well as the support page on the eBuilding Standards Portal.
An application form (Form A), together with the appropriate fee and detailed plans should be lodged with the Service. It is recommended that you engage the services of a suitably qualified person to deal with all aspects of the application and building works.
The time taken to assess an application is dependant upon the complexity of the project and quality of submitted information, but the Service aims to respond to 80% of applications within 20 days of submission. If further information is required you will be advised in writing and given a Building Warrant reference number, the name and telephone number of the surveyor dealing with your application, and a list of the matters requiring clarification.
When compliance with the Functional Standards has been met, a Building Warrant will be issued which is valid for 3 years. This period can be extended in certain circumstances.
For further advice/information please contact the Duty Surveyor by email at bs@dundeecity.gov.uk or 01382 433102.
