Do I Need a Building Regulations Package?
Building Regulations help ensure that construction work is safe, energy efficient and built to modern standards. They cover a wide range of considerations, including structural integrity, fire safety, insulation, ventilation, drainage and accessibility.
Every project is different, and the level of information required can vary depending on the nature and complexity of the proposed works.
That's why we offer a free initial consultation, allowing us to discuss your project, understand your requirements and provide guidance on the most appropriate way forward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Building Regulations
What are Building Regulations?
Building Regulations are a set of national standards that make sure building work is safe, energy efficient and built to the required standard. They cover everything from structural safety and fire protection to insulation, drainage and ventilation.
Do I need Building Regulations approval?
In most cases, yes. If you're building an extension, converting a loft or garage, making structural alterations or changing the use of a building, you'll usually need Building Regulations approval. Please call us if you're unsure.
What's the difference between Planning Permission and Building Regulations?
Planning Permission considers whether your proposal is suitable for the site and surrounding area, while Building Regulations focus on how the project is constructed to ensure it is safe, compliant and energy efficient.
What drawings are required for Building Regulations?
Building Regulations drawings contain the detailed technical information your builder and Building Control need during construction. They include construction details, insulation, drainage, structural elements and other specifications to demonstrate compliance. We produce clear, comprehensive drawing packages that help keep your project running smoothly.
What is Building Control?
Building control ensures that construction work complies with the building regulations. They review technical dreawings and carry out inspections during the build before issuing a Completion Certificate.
How long does Building Regulations approval take?
Timescales vary depending on the size and complexity of the project, but applications are often reviewed within a few weeks. If any additional information is requested, we'll deal with it promptly to help avoid unnecessary delays.
Can I start building before Building Control approval?
It's always best to have the necessary Building Control place before starting work. Beginning construction without the appropriate approval can lead to delays, additional costs and, in some cases, enforcement action requiring work to be altered or even removed if it doesn't comply with the Building Regulations.
Can MJB Technical Services help with Building Regulations?
Absolutely. We can prepare your Building Regulations drawings, coordinate with structural engineers and other specialists where required, submit your application and liaise with Building Control throughout the construction phase.
