Pre-application advice service

Pre-application meetings

All applications with an estimated cost of works over £250,000 qualify for a pre-application meeting. At the meeting we can discuss specific technical aspects and agree procedural matters such as the staging of the application.

To arrange a pre-application meeting, please email Building Standards major applications with the 

  • site address including postcode
  • full description of proposed works
  • proposed and existing floor plans, elevations, and sections
  • details of the intended stages for a staged Building Warrant application.
  • estimated value of work

buildingstandards.majorapplications@edinburgh.gov.uk.

A Building Standards surveyor will then contact you to arrange a meeting.
