What is Building Control?

Building regulations are in place to ensure that any new or altered structure is safe, functional, and meets required energy efficiency standards, among other important criteria. At Ambia, we work with both local authorities, as well as private companies, to ensure all our projects meet these rigorous standards.

These regulations cover a range of technical aspects, including structural integrity, fire safety, insulation, soundproofing, drainage, and more. Building regulation approval is typically required in addition to planning permission for projects like extensions or loft conversions, though there are some partial or full exemptions.

How to Apply for Building Regulations Approval

To gain approval, you will need detailed technical drawings that clearly outline the plans for the project. These drawings demonstrate compliance with all necessary standards and regulations.

Our Process for Building Control

Stage One
We begin by developing detailed and precise construction drawings. These drawings will form the foundation of the project and ensure that all technical requirements for building regulations are met.

Stage Two
Next, we submit these drawings to building control for assessment and approval. This step guarantees that your project complies with UK regulation standards and meets all legal requirements before construction begins.

Stage Three
With the design phase complete and approval secured, our full project management services can guide you through the construction phase. At Ambia, we handle every detail, helping you save time and money while reducing stress and ensuring your project is executed flawlessly.

By partnering with us, you can trust that your project will meet all necessary building control standards while delivering a seamless, stress-free experience.
