BUILDING REGULATION DRAWINGS

We’re skilled at providing building regulations drawings for submission to the local authorities, building control department, or private company.

What Are Building Regulations Drawings?

For clarity, building regulations drawings are a set of larger scaled detailed drawings and construction details that are to be submitted to the local authority building control department (or private company). They are much more detailed than planning drawings. Architectural drawings, building regulations drawings and the structural drawings from the engineer are all need for the application as well as SAP report from a separate consultant as you have lots of glass.

The planning drawings are a set of simplified focused purely on the design and materials. Building regs drawings are much more detailed which incorporate  the structural information, thermal insulation, drainage etc and proof of full compliance with the building regulations. They also include enough information for a contractor to accurately price as well as detailed set of construction specification notes and full product specific information to allow the contractor to price and ultimately build from.
