Building Regulations

The Technical Stage

With Planning secured, it’s time for Technical!

During this stage we’ll turn your Planning drawings into highly detailed Building Regulations drawings.

Building Regulations are a set of statutory requirements that ensure all new building work in the UK creates a safe and healthy environment. Our technical drawing packs cover fire safety, structure, drainage, ventilation, accessibility, soundproofing, thermal performance, moisture resistance and more!

Once the council has approved your Building Control application, the contractor can use this drawing pack to accurately price your project ready for work to begin on site!

Construction & Completion

Once the application has been approved, your Building Inspector will need to be notified of the construction start date. They will then carry out periodic inspections throughout the build. When work is complete, you will receive your certificate.

Point of Contract

We'll work closely with your Building Inspector to handle any information required for approval. We’ll also liaise with other specialists and consultants needed on the project, such as a structural engineer.

Examples of our work

Why choose us?

With hundreds of Building Control applications made and 100% of them approved, our expert technical team are extremely well suited to taking your project through the Building Control process.

We’ll be the main point of contact during this stage of the project, updating you of any changes, coordinating information with the Engineers, and liaising with your Building Inspector on your behalf.

We use 3D Building Information Modelling (BIM) software for everything we do. This means we can turn around drawings and address changes very quickly, whilst seamlessly coordinating information from external consultants, such as Engineers.

It’s what we do.  We have a wealth of specific experience and knowledge on how to comply with local guidance & regulations.

We are also able to identify and address any challenges faster than an Architect with a more general project portfolio.

That's it! Your project is ready to start on site

With Building Regulations approved and all necessary permissions in place, it’s time to start building!
