Building Regulations
Building Regulations
Once your architectural drawings have been approved and you have been given the go ahead to begin your project, you will need to comply with building regulations. Building Regulations apply to all building work in England & Wales. These regulations set standards for the design and construction of buildings to safeguard the health and safety of people in and around those buildings.
The main areas covered by building regulations are;
- Hygiene, drainage and sanitary appliances
- Stairways, ramps and any vehicle barriers
- Safe glazing for windows and doors
- Ventilation of habitable rooms and unheated voids
- Prevention of condensation and dampness
- Structural stability
- Fire precautions
- Heating appliances
- Electrical safety
- Fuel and power conservation
- Sound resistance between dwellings
By law, either you or your builder must make an appropriate building regulations application and comply with the regulations. Failure to do this could leave you with an unsafe building and court action.
We can take the stress of this away for you by providing you with the structural calculations and building regulation drawings you require and submit these to your local council for you.
