Building Regulations Drawings in Chichester & West Sussex

Designing with Building Regulations in mind

Securing planning permission is only half the battle. To actually start construction, you need detailed Building Regulations drawings, details and notes. Thanks to our background in construction, we don’t just draw houses; we understand how to build them. And thanks to our own personal experience renovating and extending property, we have a good grasp of costs, buildability and the practical side of turning your ideas into a reality.

Based in Chichester town centre, we provide homeowners in Selsey, Bosham, and across West Sussex with the highly technical construction packages required to ensure your project is safe, energy-efficient, and building regulations compliant.

The Advantage of using a Chartered Architectural Technologist (CIAT)

What sets us apart from architects or other designers? It’s our technical knowledge, understanding of building and our ability to design something which is in budget and buildable. As Architectural Technologists with a deep-rooted background in the building trade, we bring over 30 years of on-site and design experience to the drawing board. We know that a drawing is only as good as its ability to be built.

Balance aesthetics with buildability: We avoid overly complex designs that look good on paper but are nightmares for builders to price or execute.
Builder-Friendly Plans: Our drawings speak the language of your contractor, reducing guesswork and preventing expensive on-site surprises.
Technical Precision: We understand the nuances of structural integrity, thermal performance, and fire safety and ensure your project complies with the building regulations.

What is included in our Building Regulations package?

While planning drawings show what a building looks like, Building Regulations drawings show how it is built. Our comprehensive technical packages include:

Detailed Floor Plans & Sections: Showing construction details, structural elements, and material specifications.
Thermal Calculations: Ensuring your extension or renovation meets modern insulation and energy-saving standards (Part L).
Structural Integration: We work alongside structural engineers to incorporate steel beams, foundations, and joist layouts into one cohesive set of plans.
Drainage & Ventilation: Precise layouts for waste management and airflow to meet health and safety requirements.
Fire Safety: Ensuring your home meets current regulations for escape routes and fire-rated materials.
Anything else from the building regulations which is relevant to your project to ensure it complies and receives sign-off from building control.
