BUILDING REGULATION DRAWINGS
Our services include providing comprehensive building regulations drawings for submission to the local authorities’ building control department, or private company.
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 Structural engineer are all needed for the application as well as SAP report if you have large areas of glazing.
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.
