Building regulation drawings & specification
Building regulation drawings, also called building control drawings, are the full technical drawing pack and written specification that proves how your project is built safely and legally, and the set your builder prices and builds from.
Building regulations set the minimum standards for how a building is constructed. The package we prepare does three jobs at once: it satisfies building control, lets builders quote like-for-like, and gives the trades a clear set to work from on site.
- Prepare the full set of technical drawings and construction details
- Write the accompanying construction specification
- Cover foundations, walls, roof, insulation, drainage and fire safety
- Submit and manage the building control application as your agent
- A complete building regulations drawing pack
- A written construction specification
- One set that works for approval, pricing and build
- Support with technical queries through to completion
Frequently asked
Is a building control drawing the same as a building regulations drawing?
Yes. “Building control drawings” and “building regulations drawings” are two names for the same technical pack: the drawings and specification used to get building control approval and to build from. Some people also call them building control plans or building regs drawings.
Do I need building regulation drawings?
Most structural work, extensions, conversions, removing walls, forming new openings, needs building regulations approval, even where planning permission is not required. We check your project and confirm.
Are building control fees included?
The council's or approved inspector's own fees are separate from our work. We tell you what to expect up front.
How long does the pack take?
We typically prepare the package in around two to three weeks, depending on the project.
