What is a building regulator?

A building regulator is an entity responsible for overseeing and enforcing building codes and regulations related to construction and development projects. These may include requirements for safety, accessibility, energy efficiency, and environmental impact. Building regulators typically work for government agencies at the local, state, or federal level, and may conduct inspections, issue permits, and approve building plans. Their role is to ensure that buildings are constructed and maintained in compliance with established standards and to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
