Building Regulation Applications

When you’re preparing to build, extend or alter, making a Building Regulation Application is a step that can’t be skipped. They help you to make sure your plans will actually work in practice. Spending a little time to get it right here helps you avoid costly changes, delays on site, or falling foul of building control later down the line.

Hit the Ground Running
We help clients prepare and submit Building Regulation Applications that hold up under scrutiny. Over the years, we’ve helped clients work with Local Authorities and Approved Inspectors, and we always coordinate the right information from the outset. Because of this, the process runs smoothly and your project stays on track.

What the Regulations Cover

Building Regulations are there to safeguard future users of a building. They cover everything from structural integrity to fire safety, energy efficiency, ventilation, hygiene, soundproofing, accessibility, and more. When you submit a detailed Building Regulation Application early in the process, it gives you peace of mind that the design is technically sound.

What Our Building Regs Support Includes

Preparing and submitting detailed Building Regulation Applications.

Coordinating architectural, structural, and M&E drawings.

Advising on compliance with Parts A to S of the Building Regulations.

Liaising directly with Building Control (Local Authority or Approved Inspector).

Managing ‘Plans Checks’ to confirm compliance pre-construction.

Responding to queries or amendments flagged during assessment.

This level of coordination matters most on larger or more complex schemes, where an Initial Notice won’t cut it. A full Plans Check gives assurance that what’s on paper meets the regulations before you break ground.

Why Take a Full Plans Approach?

For small projects, it’s sometimes possible to work under an Initial Notice or a Building Notice. But where there are multiple disciplines involved, or where the works are significant, we advise you to go through the full Building Regulation Application process. In the long run, it gives clarity to the builder, confidence to you, and a paper trail that keeps everyone aligned.
