Rules for new builds and self-builds in Northern Ireland
For a new home in Northern Ireland, windows and doors are approved through the build’s full plans application to council Building Control: they must average 1.40 W/m²K, with no single unit worse than 3.00. The house itself needs planning permission.
VAT: supply and fitting by a VAT-registered contractor in the construction of a new home is normally zero-rated, so new-build guide prices are shown without VAT; supply-only purchases carry 20% VAT, which self-builders can usually reclaim through HMRC’s DIY housebuilders scheme.
How it works
The surveyor measures every opening, checks ventilation, escape windows and safety-glass zones, and talks through styles. Your written quote lists each item with its glass build-up and U-value, and the price is fixed for that specification.
