Building control submission checks

Providing a cursory check of the design principles that have been submitted for building regulations approval, through to a detailed verification of the calculations and drawings prepared by designers – whatever you need, Richard Herrmann Associates Ltd can help clients in Cambridge and beyond.

Ensure your structure is compliant

Building control submission checks ensure that your designs meet local building regulations, safety standards, and other legal requirements before work begins on site. As guidelines are extremely complex and can change at any given time, it’s important to recruit a firm that understands what it takes to comply. Richard Herrmann Associates Ltd can be your partner in this, offering thorough, detailed inspections to help you avoid delays, rejections, and unexpected costs during your project’s approval process. 

 

Delays and costly reworks can often be traced back to non-compliance with building regulations or overlooked details in the original submission. By conducting a detailed review of your designs, we help you avoid these pitfalls. Our team carefully examines every element of the submission, highlighting any areas that could cause problems later on, and advising you on the necessary adjustments to ensure you’re successful first time.

A detailed review with technical support and advice

Our service goes beyond a basic compliance check. We review the full set of documentation, including architectural drawings, structural calculations, and supporting reports, to ensure consistency and accuracy across the board. By providing a detailed, holistic review of all submitted documents, we help to reduce the risk of errors and omissions that could cause delays during the approval process. In addition to reviewing your submission, we provide practical advice on how to address any compliance issues or concerns that arise during the process. Whether it’s tweaking a design to meet fire safety regulations or revising calculations for structural integrity, our team offers solutions that ensure your submission is not only compliant but robust.

Coordinating with local authorities

Navigating the submission process can be complex, particularly when working across different regions with varying regulations. We have experience working with local authorities and building control officers across Cambridge and beyond, ensuring that your submission is in line with the specific requirements of the region. This understanding of local regulations helps smooth the path to approval and reduces the likelihood of setbacks – a crucial consideration when it comes to maintaining project timescales and budgets.
