Building Regulations drawings
Building regulations drawings are an essential component of the architectural design process that detail project specific information. They serve as a guide for contractors and builders, illustrating dimensions, materials, and construction detailing required to complete the project. These drawings typically include plans, elevations, sections, and specific details that address various aspects of the project, ensuring that all stakeholders have a unified understanding of the design intent. Precision in these drawings is critical, as they help to avoid misunderstandings and errors during the building process, ultimately contributing to the successful construction phase.
The building regulations package is compiled once the planning stage is complete, the building regulations drawings are an enhanced version of the planning drawings with addiitional detail added and new drawings produced detailing the construction. A specification will also be produced which details all aspects of the construction. Once complete, we will submit the package as a ‘Full Plans’ application to either the local authority building control or the clients choice of Approved inspector.
The package of drawings and specification will be checked for compliance against the building regulations.
An approval or comments should be received within 5 weeks from submission of a Full Plans application or up to 2 months if an extension is agreed.
The building regulations drawings will be updated to include the Structural engineers report and any comments from Building control so that a complete package can be issued to the client.
This package will contain all items required to produce an accurate quotation.
The complete package will include construction drawings and a specification to enable the builder to procure the correct materials and construct the building in compliance with the approved drawings.
