Building Regulations in Wirral
Neil Braithwaite Architect provides architectural services to meet Building Regulations compliance in Wirral and the surrounding areas.
The Building Regulations are national standards for England and Wales which apply to most types of buildings, whether in the home or a commercial development. They are separate to Planning Permission and will often be required even if Planning is not. Building Regulations ensure that the environment in which we all live is a safe and healthy place.
Meeting the Regulations
The Building Regulations includes technical guidance called the "Approved Documents." These are split into parts A to P, and tackle a wide range of constructional issues.
Further information is available at Planning Portal - Building Regulations
Drawings for building regulations need to show detailed construction information. As well as floor plans and elevations these will normally include sections, details and construction notes. For simple householder extensions this level of information will normally be sufficient for a contractor to build from.
