For the uninitiated, building regs plans and drawings are plans that you need for building control when you go to build whatever it is you are building.

​

These plans are usually fairly detailed and confirm how you are going to build. For example, if you are building an extension you will need plans that include detailed sections for the foundations, walls, floors, roof etc to communicate to the builder and building control how you are going to build and how it will meet the building regulations.

​

The main areas of concern for building control are:
Structural - Making openings or removing sections of load-bearing walls

Fire Safety - The build has to meet fire safety standards

Drainage - Alterations or additions to the drainage system

Insulation - Ensuring that new walls floors and ceilings are insulated

Windows & Doors - All new glazing has to be energy efficient and standards

Certification - Electrical, heating and gas will require certification

​

In general, building control are there to ensure that your build is carried out inline with the current building regulations. A Completion Certificate will be issued at the end of the project once all the issues have been dealt with.
