Building Regulations

As Chartered Building Surveyors, we pride ourselves in being particularly skilled in the preparation of plans for Building Regulation purposes. These will include designing the structure such that there is an efficient use of building materials and techniques specified, which generally leads to economy of design thus minimising the cost of the extension.

Plans prepared by us for Building Regulation applications are normally suitable for your Contractor to provide you with a fairly accurate quotation for carrying out the works.


The Building Regulations Act (1991)

All building work carried out in the United Kingdom (except Scotland where different rules apply) is covered by the Building Regulations Act (1991).

The Act and subsequent amendments, lays down standards for such things as sewage disposal, damp proofing, fire safety, structural soundness and a host of other building works.

These standards are designed to protect against insecure, substandard work, all Builders and householders must adhere to them where they apply.
