Building Regulations
Building Regulations in the UK are standards ensuring the safety, health, and energy efficiency of buildings. They cover structural integrity, fire safety, and accessibility for all new constructions and significant alterations.
Co-Arch helps with Building Regulations compliance by preparing detailed plans, liaising with building control authorities, and ensuring all project aspects meet required standards for smooth approval
Why Building Regulations with Co-Arch?
Building Regulations compliance in the UK involves an initial assessment of project requirements and site conditions, followed by design development with detailed architectural plans and technical specifications. Regulatory consultation ensures potential issues are addressed before submitting formal applications.
The process includes submitting full plans or a building notice, compliance checks, regular site inspections, and specialist reports such as structural calculations, energy performance, and fire safety strategies.
Co-Arch assists with compliance through expert consultations, thorough design and documentation, and effective regulatory liaison. We provide ongoing support during construction, coordinating inspections and addressing issues, and conducting necessary specialist assessments.
