As part of our service we are here to assist you through the more technical aspects of building a house. Which means helping you to gain building regulations approval, to ensure your home is built to safety standards.

Building regulations

Starting the building regulation process with Potton

Once you have received planning permission our team of architectural technicians will take care of the building regulations and engineering requirements. 

We usually recommend a full plan application for all our self-builders, which is included as part of our service. This is a detailed application and once approved, you will meet the level of safety standards to build your home.

What's included in the Full Plan Application?

  • Comprehensive working drawing pack, which includes: planning drawings, site location plan, block plan, drainage design, technical drawings of the property, including walls, floors and roof
  • Construction details
  • Structural calculations, foundation and superstructure
  • SAP calculations
