What It Involves
Building Regulations Drawings That Give Your Builder Everything They Need
Planning permission tells you what you can build. Building Regulations approval tells you how you must build it. The technical drawing package is the bridge between design intent and compliant construction.
Our packages cover all relevant Parts of the Regulations: structural adequacy (Part A), fire safety (Part B), thermal performance (Part L), drainage (Part H), ventilation (Part F) and accessibility (Part M).
We work closely with your contractor and specialist consultants to ensure the technical package is practical to build, meets all regulatory requirements, and minimises queries from Building Control.
Who This Is For
✓
Homeowners who have planning permission and need Building Control approval
✓
Builders and contractors requiring detailed technical drawings before pricing
✓
Developers needing a full technical package coordinated with structural consultants
✓
Clients self-managing a build who need drawings to obtain contractor quotes

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions about our Building Regulations Drawings service.
Do I need Building Regulations approval if I have planning permission?
Yes — they are separate approvals. Planning covers the principle of what you build. Building Regulations covers how it is built: structural safety, fire safety, energy efficiency, drainage.
What is the difference between a Full Plans application and a Building Notice?
A Full Plans application involves submitting detailed drawings for approval before work starts. A Building Notice is a simpler route where the inspector checks compliance during construction.
Do I need a structural engineer?
For most structural work — removing walls, adding floors or significant extensions — structural engineer calculations are required. We coordinate with your structural engineer.
