Building Regulation Plans
The next set of Plans to be prepared are Building Regulation Plans, these technical drawings are required for contractors to tender and work from. These include structural calculations prepared by our structural engineer.
It's worth delaying progress on the Building Regulation Plans until this step is completed, as it can save time and money down the line. Once you have been given your green light to proceed, the next set of plans to consider are those that fall under Building Regulations.
