BUILDING REGULATIONS

Once your planning application has had its approval a building certificate from a building control body, either local authority or private building inspector.

We advise gaining the planning permission before paying for the detailed building regulations drawings. Given the additional complexity of the meeting the building regulations for a two-storey extension it is essential that you get the plans approved prior to commencing. These building regulations drawings will then be submitted for a full plan check, amended if necessary and once approved they will be the standard that is built to and inspection against. Our plans will include all the necessary detail such as structure, passage of sound, disabled access, drainage, resistance to moisture, collision, impact, heat loss, ventilation, light, emergency escape and much more.

These drawings will have used when the building control officer inspects the build to ensure the builder is carrying out the works correctly. You can commence works 5 days from submitting to building control, this is the minimum time due to having to consult the water authority.
