Benefits of using our Full Plans Building Regulation Service

• We guarantee Building Regulations approval - we will act as your agent and submit the application to Building Control.

• Our building regulations include all the required structural calculations.

• Providing your builder works in accordance with our plans, you are assured that the Building Regulations will be satisfied. 

• Our Full Plans process will often save you money and secure a better quality project. Competent building contractors tend to prefer the process because of its thoroughness - if work is checked as it progresses on site with a Building Notice application, the Building Control Officers often have to ask for work to be rectified.

• Our documents enable the builder to provide an accurate quotation, reducing the likelihood of unforeseen extras.

• The building control approval notice can be presented to financial institutions, solicitors and surveyors when seeking loans or moving home.

    

"My builder’s opinion was that these drawings, calculations and specifications were as good as he had ever worked with before in his 25 years experience in the building trade and are better than he often is given on projects as they gave him all the detail of everything he needs to know."

Building Control Charges

Each Local Authority is responsible for setting its own fees to fully recover its direct Building Control costs.

Building Regulations Explanatory Booklet
