Building Regulation Drawings
Refine your design with building regulation drawings
Once planning permission is granted, the next step may be to finalise the technical details of your project by preparing building regulation drawings for a building control application.
Building Regulations & Building Control
Building Regulations set the minimum construction standards for safety, structure, energy efficiency, and accessibility in the UK. They are set by government and are separate from planning permission, meaning most projects require approval under both systems.
A building control application is submitted to the local authority and is supported by a detailed set of technical drawings and construction details, demonstrating compliance with current Building Regulations.
Building regulation drawings ready in weeks
Our design team prepares your building control drawings within 2–3 weeks, depending on project scope. We also act as your agent, submitting the building control application on your behalf.
Working with Planning Drawings
We can develop building regulation drawings using plans prepared as part of our concept design and planning package. Alternatively, we’re happy to work from planning drawings produced by a third party, subject to review.
Building Regulation Drawings
Our building regulation drawings include detailed technical drawings and construction information covering all key elements of the project, including:
-
Thermal insulation
-
Roof construction details
-
Foundation design
-
Wall build-ups
-
Structural design and calculations
Most projects require structural calculations to be submitted as part of the building control application.
We can prepare the structural design report for your project and submit it to the local authority on your behalf. Alternatively, if you prefer to appoint an independent structural engineer, we can incorporate their calculations into the building control submission.
Submitting the Building Control Application
Once the building regulation drawings and technical details are finalised, we prepare and submit the building control application to your local council or to a private building control inspector, if preferred.
We act as your agent throughout the application process at no additional cost, liaising with building control on your behalf. Please note that building control application fees are not included in our service packages.

Planning Permission Drawings
We prepare clear, compliant planning permission drawings and manage the application process to help your project gain approval with minimal delay. Our designs are tailored to your property and local planning policies, giving you confidence from concept through to decision.
Our 3D realistic renders bring your project to life before construction begins. They provide a clear, accurate visual of the proposed design, helping you understand the layout, materials, and overall appearance while supporting design decisions and planning discussions.
3D Realistic Renders
A measured survey provides accurate drawings of your existing property and forms the foundation for planning and design work. We capture precise dimensions and key features to ensure all drawings are reliable, compliant, and ready for planning or building regulations.
