Building Regulation Drawings

Refine your design with building regulation drawings

Once planning permission has been granted, we may need to finalise the technical specifications of your project by preparing building regulation drawings for a building control application.

Building regulations & building control

Building regulations refer to the minimum standards for how a building is constructed. The regulations are developed by the UK government and approved by Parliament.

They are different to planning permission and you may need both for your project.

A building control application (also known as building regulations) is submitted to the local council.

It includes a set of technical drawings and construction details for the project.

Working with planning drawings

We will use the drawings produced as part of our concept design & planning package.

Alternatively, we can use planning drawings you have had produced by a third party.

The building regulation drawings

The technical drawings and construction details will cover every aspect of the project, such as:

  • Thermal insulation
  • Roof construction details
  • Foundation types
  • Wall build-ups
Structural design and calculations

Most projects will require a structural design (also known as structural calculations) to be submitted as part of the building control application.

We can prepare the structural design report for your project and submit it to the council as part of the building control application.

Alternatively, you may wish to have a third party structural engineer to prepare the report and we will then include it in in the building control application.

Submitting the building control application

Once the building regulation drawings and technical specifications have been agreed, it’s time to submit the building control application to your local council.

As part of our service, we prepare and submit the application to the council, or to a private building control inspector of your choice.

For no extra charge, we will act as your agent for the duration of the application.

Please note that building control application fees are not included in our packages.
