Had a great experience with AC Design, the customer service was great and they responded to our questions promptly. Turnaround for designs were quick too. I especially appreciated having a call with the engineer as it helped us understand why the designs were constructed in a certain way. Highly recommend this company if you require structural drawings done

Building Regulations 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.

Which Building Projects in Watford Need Building Regulations Approval?

You need building regulations approval for home extensions. This includes rear, side, and front extensions, garage conversions, and removing structural walls. You also need approval for loft conversions that create additional living space, basement developments, and bathroom installations with drainage work.

Windows and doors affecting escape routes need approval. So do electrical rewiring, new heating systems, drainage changes, and foundation work.

Do I Need an Architect in Watford or Just Building Regulations Drawings?

An architect provides full architectural design services. However, many home improvement projects only need technical drawings for building control.

Our architectural technologist team offers good value drawing services. These work well for straightforward extensions and renovations. For complex architectural projects or where you need planning permission, full architectural services may help more.

Can You Provide Both Planning Permission and Building Regulations Drawings in Watford?

Yes, we provide both planning and building regulations drawings services in Watford.

Planning permission covers external appearance and impact on neighbours. Building regulations ensure technical compliance with construction standards. Most home extensions need both approvals from the local authority.

How Long Does Building Control Approval Take in Watford?

Drawing preparation typically takes 10-14 working days for standard residential projects.

After submission, Watford Borough Council building control reviews full plans applications within 5 weeks. Sometimes this extends to 8 weeks. Building notice applications let work start immediately with on-site inspections at key stages.

What Makes Your Building Drawings Services Different from Other Providers in North London?

Our knowledge and experience as CIAT chartered professionals sets us apart. We combine this with our attention to detail. We create compliant drawings and provide tailored architectural solutions from start to finish.

Your set of building regulations drawings meets all local building control and local authority requirements. This ensures successful project completion.
