Building Regulations Services

Why choose Andrews Eades for your Building Regulations Services?

Building Regulations are the minimum standards for design and construction which are applied to virtually every building project in the UK. The regulations are set out in a series of written documents called the Approved Documents, which are produced by the UK Government.

Our experienced team of architects and chartered surveyors are highly skilled and knowledgeable in all aspects of Building Regulations, allowing us to produce a full suite of technical drawings for any project. These drawings are then submitted in an application to either the Local Authority Building Control or a Private Approved Inspector for their comment and approval.

Whilst Building Regulations drawings do not constitute a full specification of works, they are of a sufficient enough level of technical detail that they will form a crucial part of the information from which your chosen contractor will build from. Typically, this includes elements like foundations, superstructure (floor, walls, roofs), beams and lintels, insulation, ventilation, drainage, and fire protection.

  • Full Building Regulations Application Services.
  • Expert knowledge and understanding of the Approved Documents.
  • Experienced working with Local Authority Building Control and Private Approved Inspectors.
  • Skilled design and drawing production using CAD.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve picked out some answers to the most popular questions we get asked by clients and potential customers about our Architectural Services.

To read our full list of frequently asked questions, please click here.

Do you provide details for builders to price from?2023-08-24T14:43:05+01:00

Yes, building regulations drawings are a relatively basic specification. We would be pleased to quote for additional specification, schedules and overseeing works on site for you.

Am I responsible for health and safety on my project?2023-08-24T14:41:06+01:00

A domestic client is responsible for ensuring that they have an appropriately skilled project team in place, who then takes on the principal roles for managing health and safety under CDM 2015. The client must also ensure that their project programme allows enough time for health and safety to be properly managed.

The level of health and safety planning and management should be proportional to the size and complexity of the project.

Do I need a building contract?2023-08-24T14:40:53+01:00

No, it is not a statutory requirement to have a contract for a building project. However, we recommend that a contract is put in place for larger or complex projects as it binds both client and contractor to a clear framework for how the project is run and provides mechanisms for resolving disputes.

What is the difference between planning consent and Building Regulations consent?2023-08-24T12:54:45+01:00

Planning consent is the permission to carry out development works, therefore planning drawings tend to focus on the layout, size, and appearance of the building.

Building Regulations consent seeks to confirm that your development works meet the minimum technical standards as defined in the Approved Documents. Therefore, Building Regulations drawings are more detailed and tend to focus on structural stability, energy efficiency, and the wellbeing of its occupiers and users.
