Professional Building Regulations Support across Suffolk
Clear technical drawings and straightforward advice to help you prepare for your build. We support homeowners in Kesgrave, Ipswich, Felixstowe, Woodbridge and across Suffolk, turning home improvement plans into detailed proposals for Building Control.
The detail behind your design
Once you know how you want your home to look and work, the next step is establishing how it will be built.
We prepare Building Regulations drawings that set out the construction details relevant to your project, including insulation, ventilation, drainage and fire safety. These give Building Control the information needed to assess your proposals and help your builder understand the intended work.
Where specialist input is needed, such as a structural engineer’s calculations, we explain what’s required.
Support for extensions, conversions and renovations
Whether you’re adding space or rethinking the layout of your home, we can help you understand the Building Regulations requirements and prepare the appropriate drawings.
Our work covers:
House extensions
Loft conversions
Garage conversions
Home renovations and internal alterations
Garden offices and outbuildings
Porches and other home improvements
Requirements vary depending on the work involved. We’ll help you establish what applies to your project before you move ahead.
Your Building Control application, managed
We can prepare and submit your application, liaise with Building Control and respond to queries about the drawings. You’ll have someone to explain the process and keep you informed as the application progresses.
Agreeing the technical details early helps reduce uncertainty before construction starts. Building Control inspections during the build remain an important part of checking that the completed work complies.
Do you need planning permission as well?
Planning permission and Building Regulations approval are separate processes. Planning considers whether a proposal is acceptable in its setting, while Building Regulations address technical requirements for the building work.
Even if your project falls within permitted development and doesn’t need a full planning application, Building Regulations may still apply.
We can help with both stages, from developing your initial design and managing any planning application to preparing the technical drawings.
Clear advice. Fixed fees. A practical next step.
You don’t need to have every detail worked out before speaking to us. Tell us what you’re planning and we’ll explain how we can help, what our service includes and the fee before work begins.
