Building Regulation drawings prepared for approval, pricing and the build stage
A Building Regulation package is where the project becomes technically real. Planning drawings often show what the project looks like in principle. Building Regulation drawings go much further by showing how the work is intended to be built, how key elements come together and how the proposal is expected to meet building control requirements.
WEDRAWPLANS prepares detailed technical drawing packs for residential and commercial projects across London. These packs are designed to help with building control approval, structural coordination, contractor pricing and construction on site. The aim is always to provide a clear, practical and professionally organised set of drawings that moves the project forward.
This service is especially important for extensions, loft conversions, new builds, internal structural alterations, conversions and commercial schemes where the technical pack needs to coordinate with structural engineer input, fire safety, thermal performance, sound requirements, drainage or other construction details.
What is included in a Building Regulation drawing pack
The exact content depends on the project, but a strong Building Regulation pack will usually include a coordinated set of drawings and notes that allow building control and the wider team to understand how the work is intended to be constructed.
- General arrangement plans at key levels
- Demolition and proposed construction information where needed
- Cross sections and long sections with build ups
- Wall, floor and roof build up notes
- Insulation, thermal and condensation risk related notes
- Fire protection and escape information relevant to the scope
- Structural engineer coordination and beam references
- Opening details, junction details and key construction notes
- Drainage and basic external works information where relevant
- Stair, headroom and guarding related notes where applicable
- Sound and ventilation related notes depending on the project
- Project-specific technical items that need build clarity

Structural engineering coordination matters
Many Building Regulation packages need to align closely with structural engineer information. That may include steel beams, padstones, new openings, roof alterations, floor strengthening, connection details and other structural elements. A technical pack works best when the drawings and structural design speak to each other clearly. This is a major part of why clients instruct us.
Typical coordination items
- Beam positions and opening layouts
- Padstone references and structural support logic
- Floor and roof structure changes
- Junction details around structural work
- Coordination between architectural and structural intent
Why that helps the project
- Clearer building control submission

Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning approval before Building Regulation drawings?
In many cases yes, the planning route comes first where it is required. Once the planning position is clear, the technical package can then be prepared for building control and the build stage.
Can you prepare Building Regulation drawings if another company did the planning drawings?
Yes. We can review the approved planning information and prepare a separate Building Regulation package based on the agreed scheme, subject to the level of information available.
Are these drawings useful for builders as well as building control?
Yes. A good technical pack should help both the approval process and the construction process by giving clearer information for pricing, coordination and site work.
How quickly can you start?
We can usually review the project quickly and arrange an initial survey within 48 hours in most cases, then move into the technical drawing stage once the scope and starting information are confirmed.
