building regulation and applications
A building regulation application is the formal process that ensures your construction project meets all required legal, safety, and quality standards. Whether you’re constructing a new home, extending an existing property, or carrying out a renovation, your project must comply with building regulations to be lawful and safe. Our team provides complete guidance and hands-on support for everything from building control certificates to building regulation drawings, ensuring your project progresses without unnecessary delays.
What Is a Building Regulation Application?
A building regulations application is submitted to your local authority or private building control provider to confirm your project meets the rules for structural safety, fire safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency. This includes:
- Preparing technical building regulation drawings and structural calculations.
- Submitting paperwork through platforms like Submit-a-Plan.
- Managing queries from local authority building control or private building regs officers.
Failing to obtain approval can lead to fines, refusal of a completion certificate, or costly remedial work.

Do I Need Building Regulation Approval?
You’ll likely need approval for:
- New builds and commercial premises.
- Home extensions, loft conversions, and garage conversions.
- Major renovations or structural alterations.
- Projects requiring a regularisation certificate for retrospective compliance.
Even smaller works may require a building notice application or a building control initial notice. If you’re unsure, our experts can advise whether you need to apply for building regulations.
Retrospective Building Regulations & Regularisation
If work has already been carried out without approval, we can help secure retrospective building regulations through a regularisation certificate. This process involves inspections and possible alterations to meet compliance standards. The retrospective building regulations time limit varies depending on your location, so it’s important to act quickly.
