Building Regulations Approval

CR Designs can prepare and submit your application to building regulations

We can finalise the technical specifications of your project by preparing technical drawings and construction details for building regulations approval.

Building regulations & building control

Building regulations (also known as building control) refers to the minimum standards for how a building is constructed.

The regulations are developed by the UK government and approved by Parliament.

Building regulation approval is different to planning permission, however you may require both for your project.

Building regulation drawings with the stamp of approval
Building regulations must be followed for house extensions, such as adding a roof lantern to increase natural light
Ready to submit for building regulations approval in weeks

Your CR Designs project team will have your building regulations application ready in 2-3 weeks.

As part of our service, we will submit it to your local council building regulations team on your behalf, acting as your agent for the duration of the project.

Working with planning drawings

To prepare your application to building regulations we can use drawings produced as part of our concept design & planning package or drawings you have had produced by a third party.

Drawings for your building regulations application

The technical drawings and construction details of the application will cover every aspect of the project, from foundation types to roof construction.

Structural design and calculation packages

Your building project will possibly require a structural design report (also known as structural calculations) that will be submitted as part of your application for building regulations approval.

We can prepare the structural design report or, alternatively, we can include a report prepared by a third-party structural engineer.

Submitting your application to building regulations

We will submit your application to the local council building regulations team once the drawings and technical specifications have been agreed.

Once we have submitted the application to the council, or to a private building control inspector of your choice, we will act as your agent for the duration of the application.
