DESIGN SUPPORT
Design Reviews & Technical Advice
Independent reviews and advisory comments as design information develops, helping teams identify Building Regulations considerations and evidence gaps.
As a project moves on from concept design, the information becomes more detailed and the key Building Regulations questions become clearer. BCC helps teams consider those questions as the design, cost and delivery strategy develop together.
WHEN TO INVOLVE BCC
Keep Building Regulations input connected to the design
We work alongside the client and wider multi-disciplinary team as a settled concept is developed into a more coordinated proposal.
01
From concept to coordinated design
Bring practical regulatory input into the project as initial concepts are developed into drawings and technical information.
02
As disciplines come together
Support the conversations between architectural, structural and building services teams as the design is coordinated.
03
When decisions affect the programme
Consider the likely Building Regulations implications of design choices while scope, costs and timeframes are being refined.
HOW WE HELP
Practical advice as the technical detail develops.
Stay connected to the project team
We remain engaged with the client and multi-disciplinary team, building on the discussions and learning from earlier stages.
Review emerging questions
We help the team consider the Building Regulations issues that arise as design information becomes more defined.
Support key technical discussions
Advice can cover initial questions relating to structure, fire, access, energy and sustainability.
Maintain a clear route forward
We help identify the regulatory inputs that need to be addressed as the project progresses towards its next stage.
THE VALUE OF EARLY COORDINATION
Make informed decisions as the design evolves.
Building Regulations input at this stage helps the project team keep the regulatory considerations visible as technical design, services coordination and costing become more detailed.
