FAQ
What do building regulation drawings include?
When should I submit my building regulation drawings?
Building regulation drawings should be submitted to your local authority's building control department before the construction starts. The exact timeline may vary depending on your location and the complexity of your project, but it's generally a good idea to submit them as early as possible to avoid delays.
Why are building regulation drawings important?
Building regulation drawings are crucial for ensuring that a building is safe, structurally sound, and energy-efficient. They ensure that the construction complies with local and national building codes, which helps protect occupants and the surrounding environment.
What are building regulation drawings?
Building regulation drawings are detailed technical drawings that illustrate the construction elements of a building project. They ensure that the proposed design complies with building codes and regulations, and provide clear instructions for builders and contractors to follow during construction.
How do I obtain building regulation drawings for my project?
To obtain building regulation drawings, you can either work with an architect, architectural technician, or a qualified draftsperson who has experience in creating such drawings. They will help you design your project and ensure it complies with the relevant building codes and regulations.
What happens if my building project doesn't comply with building regulations?
If your building project doesn't comply with building regulations, you may be required to make modifications to bring it up to code, which could be costly and time-consuming. In extreme cases, your local authority may issue a notice requiring you to demolish or alter the non-compliant parts of the building. Failure to comply can result in fines or legal action.
How long does it take to get building regulation approval?
The time it takes to receive building regulation approval can vary depending on your local authority and the complexity of your project. Generally, you can expect a decision within 4-8 weeks of submitting your drawings. It's essential to factor in this time when planning your project to avoid delays.
What is the difference between planning permission and building regulation approval?
Planning permission focuses on the aesthetics, land use, and environmental impact of a proposed development, whereas building regulation approval is concerned with the technical aspects of construction, ensuring the building is safe, structurally sound, and energy-efficient. Both planning permission and building regulation approval are typically required for most building projects.
How much do building regulation drawings cost?
The cost of building regulation drawings varies depending on the size and complexity of your project, as well as the professional you choose to work with. You can expect to pay anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand pounds.
Can I make changes to my building regulation drawings after they have been approved?
If you need to make changes to your building regulation drawings after they have been approved, you'll need to submit revised drawings to your local authority's building control department for review. Depending on the nature and extent of the changes, you may be required to pay additional fees and wait for a new approval.
Building regulation drawings typically include detailed floor plans, elevations, sections, and construction details, as well as information on materials, insulation, ventilation, fire safety, accessibility, and structural elements. They should also provide information on energy efficiency and compliance with building codes and regulations.
