building regulations

Most new buildings and many alterations of existing buildings will need to comply with the Building Regulations. Some projects may also require Planning Permission.

The Building Regulations set standards for a building's construction - structure, fire safety, sound insulation, electrical safety, for example. Major changes in 2006 focused on energy efficiency in order to tackle the growing importance of carbon reduction and sustainable construction.

Whether it's part of an overal design package or if it's just plans I can produce a set of drawings and other documentation (if required) to show how a project will show compliance. More info on can be found at the Government's Planning Portal.
