BUILDING REGULATIONS

UK BUILDING REGULATIONS & COMPLIANCE SERVICES

You might be able to design the perfect garden annexe in your sleep. But designing the perfect garden annexe that complies with building control regulations is a different story. Contraventions to The Building Regulations 2010 legislation can delay projects, increase costs, be dangerous, void insurance, and cause future problems for a client’s property sale or value.

Regardless of whose legal responsibility it is for meeting these standards, the duty to do so applies to all parties.

Knowing your annexe, outbuilding, mobile home, or luxury retreat will comply with building control regulations and other considerations before, during, and after your build is key. ANX will help you ensure your design avoids costly delays or remedial works. We leverage our strong working relationships with building control inspectors and help you submit clear, detailed, accurate information as and when required.

GARDEN-ROOM DESIGN AND BUILDING CONTROL REGULATIONS

We’ll give you pragmatic, proactive feedback on your outbuilding design and specifications from the outset. Without thought and planning, the ground, structure, thermal performance, ventilation, and passive and active fire measures can fall short of necessary standards.

We’ll tell you if you need a build-over agreement, provide or review building control drawings, and deal with pre-compliance. We’ll prepare and submit information packs and approval documents and organise and deal with meetings and inspections for you.

We advise on compliance with or when certification by, for example, BSI or BREEAM is necessary – or can be utilised for VAT exemption, for example.ANX is SSIP-registered (Safety Schemes in Procurement), so our health and safety management processes meet HSE-backed core criteria.
