Building regulations drawings – principal designer architect

What are the Building Regulations?

Building Regulations are standards that apply to all buildings to make sure they are safe for people who are in or around them. The Building Regulations contain a series of Approved Documents covering the technical aspects of construction work. The Approved Documents consist of:

  • Part A – Structure
  • Part B – Fire Safety
  • Part C – Site preparation and resistance to contaminants and moisture
  • Part D – Toxic Substances
  • Part E – Resistance to the passage of sount
  • Part F – Ventilation
  • Part G – Sanitation, hot water safety and water efficiency
  • Part H – Drainage and Waste Disposal
  • Part J – Combustion appliances and fuel storage systems
  • Part K – Protection from falling, collision and impact
  • Part L – Conservation of fuel and power
  • Part M – Access to and use of buildings
  • Part N – Glazing Safety (Withdrawn)
  • Part P – Electrical Safety
  • Part Q – Security
  • Part R – Physical infrastructure for high-speed electronic communications networks.
  • Regulation 7 – Materials and workmanship

Put simply, Building Regulations deal with the technical and constructional details of building works to ensure the health and safety of people in and around the building.

Building regs checklist: The requirements of a fullbuilding control submission

Gaining Building Regulation approval requires expertise and knowledge of the regulations and approved documents. To ensure your application is successful, it is important to choose an architect with experience in the Building Control submission process.

The application should include a full set of drawings including plans, sections, elevations, details and notes to highlight the necessary standards and regulations. Furthermore, structural drawings from engineers may also be required to prove the building will be safely constructed. Your engineer and architect should work together to create a costeffective and safe design.

We offer our customers a wide range of drawings, ranging from basic sketches to detailed technical drawings.
