Building Regulations

The term “Building Regulations” often refers to the preparation of construction plans to show compliance with the regulations (Building Regulations 2000) and is just one stage of many in the development of a building project from inception to completion.

In its simplest form, building regulations consent can be obtained with the compilation of large scale floor plans and typical sections together with an accompanying specification, usually in the form of construction notes on the drawings. These will state the depth of foundations, amount of insulation, type of heating system, size of floor joists etc.

The Approved Documents are often used by designers for the purpose of providing practical guidance with respect to the Building Regulations 2000. These are split into various parts which include; Structure, Fire Safety, Ventilation, Electrical Safety, Access to and use of the building etc.
