Technical consultants who understand the building regulations
Building regulations is a statutory approval required for the majority of all building work. Unlike planning it deals less with scale and aesthetics, and more towards safety, structural elements and thermal performance.
Recent amendments to Part B (fire safety) and Part L (energy efficiency) have meant some big cost increases for homeowners and developers. Knowing various options to achieve regs approval is vital, like planning there is more than one way of designing building elements to meet the regs, and a lot of cost difference between them.
