Building Regulations

BUILDING REGULATIONS – STAGE 4

Technical Design involves taking the planning design and developing it ready for submission to Building Control for approval and to ensure the design complies with Building Regulations.
The key areas covered at this stage are listed below:

1. Technical Design (Building Regulations)
2. Develop detail design from the approved scheme design upon receipt of planning consents.
3. Coordinate and integrate any work by consultant’s specialists and suppliers
4. Where applicable, consult with statutory authorities on developed design proposals
5. Prepare and submit a Building Regulations application for approvals under building acts and/  or regulations and other statutory requirements
6. Review construction strategy and Health & Safety strategy.
7. Consider audits required for air tightness and continuity of insulation.
8. Review Handover Strategy and design criteria

At this stage we may suggest other consultants are engaged, typically a scheme may require a structural engineer to produce calculations and details—we will advise you on this depending on your scheme.

We usually submit the package of information to the local authority building control and will then assemble a pack of approved drawings - once received back - ready for your builder to give you a detailed price.
