Do you need help to comply with building regulations?
Does this sound like you?
❌ You want your build to go as smoothly as possible with the minimum amount of surprises, right?
❌ You contacted a builder for a price and were told you need to get some plans.
❌ You’ve heard you need to comply with building regulations but don’t have a clue where to start.
❌ You considered using a builder that said, “I don’t need plans to work from”. You are concerned though. Without plans to price from, how can you be sure the finished build will meet your expectations? Could there be extra costs added later?
❌ You contacted an ‘architect’ who was really cheap. You were tempted to use him but were concerned about what corners were being cut to get his price so low. Why such a big difference in cost to other companies? Is he even a proper architect?
❌ You’ve heard stories about cowboy builders and don’t want your dream renovation to become a nightmare.
❌ You worry if your build isn’t done properly to current building regulations, your home could be unsafe.
❌ You are concerned that your costs could spiral if your build isn’t done properly, first time round.
✔️ If you’ve had any thoughts like this, I have a simple solution for you…

My process
How does it work?
Preparation
📝 First, I’ll review your concept design and / or planning drawings to work out exactly what drawings will be needed by building control.
👨🎓 I’ll let you know if any other specialists need to be involved during this stage, for example, a structural engineer.
Technical Design
💻 I’ll prepare detailed architectural drawings. Usually, these will include annotated floor plans, elevations, cross-sections plus large-scale construction details.
✒️ I’ll write a building regulations specification document. It will include notes to show how your build will comply with the current building regulations.
📧 I’ll send a copy of the documents to any other specialists and add their design input to our drawings and specification.
👍 Pre-application, one round of drawing changes is included so you have a chance to make small last-minute changes.
📩 I’ll submit a full plans application to building control, dealing with your local authority or an approved inspector on your behalf.
Afterwards
👷 Building control will check the drawings and specification and provide their feedback.
💻 I’ll edit the drawings and specification, if required, and resend updated copies to building control for final approval.
📜 You’ll receive a copy of your building control plan check letter / plan certificate and I’ll advise you on any next steps.

We have used Jon's services on more than one occasion for advice, technical information, drawings and planning inquiries. On our most recent project Jon has been involved from the outset, discussing initial ideas, providing architectural drawings and coordinating the planning permission and structural analysis requirements. Always professional, courteous and approachable, Jon listened to our needs and the detailed nature of his work has resulted in a set of plans which both the builder and building inspectors have found comprehensive and clear. Many Thanks!
