Building Regulations Explained
What are Building Regulations?
Legal requirements make sure construction work meets minimum standards. These cover health, safety, welfare, comfort, and energy efficiency.
They apply to most domestic building work. This includes extensions, conversions, and new builds. Every homeowner doing construction work needs to follow these regulations and relevant approved documents.
What are Building Regulations Drawings?
Technical drawings are detailed drawings that show how your project will follow building regulations.
A complete set includes structural details, insulation details, and ventilation requirements. Plus other technical information needed for building control approval. These drawings are essential. Any builder needs them to start work legally.
Planning Drawings vs Building Regulations Drawings
Planning permission drawings focus on visual impact. They show the overall design of your project.
Building regulations drawings are technical documents. They show how the work will be done safely. They show how to meet required standards.
You often need both. But they serve different purposes. You need building regulations drawings even after planning permission is granted.

Technical Drawing FAQ
Planning a home extension? Our FAQ section addresses the key questions homeowners ask about structural engineering requirements, costs, timelines, and design processes to help you make informed decisions about your project.
Q. How Do You Ensure Accuracy Without Visiting My Property?
We use a proven digital process that often provides more accuracy than traditional site visits. Our detailed measurement guides, photo requirements, and video consultations capture everything needed. Plus, our systematic approach eliminates the human error that can occur during rushed property visits.
If any clarifications are needed during the drawing process, we’ll arrange a video call to walk through specific areas together. For complex projects where measurements don’t add up during design, we also offer 3D point cloud scanning services to ensure millimeter-perfect accuracy.
This comprehensive approach has resulted in a 98% first-time approval rate with building control.
Q. Why Trust Online Drawing?
Established online services have track records of successful approvals, customer testimonials, and professional qualifications. We offer guarantees and ongoing support throughout the process.
Q. Can You Help With Planning Applications and Permitted Development Rights?
Yes, we can assist with various aspects of the planning process, including permitted development assessments and planning applications where required.
Q. Can I Skip Building Regulations Drawings to Save Money?
As a Chartered Architectural Technology practice, we often get questioned whether technical drawings are required. Some clients try to save in the wrong places. While not all projects legally require them, they’re crucial for ensuring compliance with Part A through Part R of the current regulations (as amended).
Technical Drawings go far beyond basic architectural plans. They’re detailed technical documents that specify critical elements like:
- Structural calculations and beam specifications
- Foundation depths and construction details
- Thermal efficiency calculations (Part L compliance)
- Fire safety measures and escape routes
- Ventilation systems and condensation control
- Drainage layouts and connection details
- Sound insulation specifications for party walls
- Detailed section drawings at 1:20 scale
- Application drawings for building control submission
So why leave this to your builder on site? We understand your builder has built many extensions, but that doesn’t mean they’re equipped to design the whole scheme. For example, 100mm thick insulation doesn’t have the same U-value between manufacturers – you could end up with builder-made specifications that cause issues later.
For electrical and gas work, a competent person scheme member can self-certify certain work. However, structural changes always need proper technical drawings.
Through our extensive experience, even when technical drawings aren’t legally mandated, they prevent costly errors. A recent kitchen extension project saved our client £12,000 in potential remedial works because our detailed technical drawings identified a drainage issue before construction began.
Our professional experience shows detailed technical drawings typically reduce construction costs by 5-15% through improved material specification and eliminating on-site guesswork.
If you’re planning a conservatory, don’t assume you’re exempt. Our 2025 guide to conservatory building regulations breaks down when approval is needed and whether you can use a building notice.
The real question isn’t whether you need technical drawings, but rather what level of detail will best protect your investment and ensure full compliance.
Q. What's the Complete Timeline from Start to Approval?
Our complete process timeline:
– Initial consultation and quote: Same day
– Drawing production: 5-10 working days (depending on complexity)
– Building control submission: 1-2 days
– Local authority review: 5-8 weeks (varies by council)
– Site inspections: Throughout construction phase
– Total time to approval: 6-10 weeks typically
We’ll keep you updated at each stage and handle all communication with building control on your behalf.
Q. How Does a Self Survey Work?
Our self-survey process involves detailed questionnaires, photograph requirements, and measurement guides that allow you to gather all necessary information without requiring a site visit from our surveyor or architectural designer team. We will also visit your site to take measurement.
Q. What are the specific requirements for staircase building regulations?
Staircase regulations under Part K are complex, covering rise, going, pitch, and safety requirements. For comprehensive guidance on all aspects of domestic staircase compliance, see our detailed guide to UK staircase building regulations Part K.
Q. When Are Building Regulations Required for My Project?
Building regulations are required for most building projects, including:
- Extensions and loft conversions
- Structural alterations (removing or adding walls)
- New builds and major renovations
- Installing new windows or doors
- Electrical work and plumbing installations (unless done by competent person)
- Garage conversions and outbuildings over certain sizes
- Any work affecting fire safety or structural integrity
- Most types of building work on domestic building projects
Some minor works may be exempt, but it’s always best to check with your local building control officer. Our team can assess your specific project and advise whether obtaining building regulations approval is needed.
You can either submit a building notice or use a full plans application. We’ll help you choose the right route for your house extension or other building work.
