Where engineering matters most

Building regulations drawings show how your extension is built: foundations, beams, insulation, drainage, fire safety and ventilation. They're what building control approves and what your builder prices from. Vague drawings lead to vague quotes and extra costs part-way through.

Because Ashbridge is engineer-led, beams, foundations and drainage are designed properly from the start. Add in-house structural calculations with the Complete package, so building control gets one consistent set of documents.

Questions

Do I need building regs drawings if I have planning permission?

Yes. Planning covers what the extension looks like. Building regulations cover how it's built, and apply to almost all extensions, lofts and garage conversions.

Do you visit the property?

Yes. Every project starts with a measured survey. Around Birmingham and the West Midlands our engineer visits in person. Elsewhere in England, the survey is carried out by a partner surveyor or by 3D scan, depending on the project.

Do council fees come on top?

Yes. Planning application fees and building control fees are paid directly to the council or building control body. We tell you the exact amounts before anything is submitted.
