EARLY-STAGE SUPPORT
Early Building Regulations Advice
Practical early advice to help clients and design teams identify Building Regulations considerations before a design is fixed.
Early engagement helps project teams understand the Building Regulations considerations that may affect design, programme and scope - before those decisions become harder and more costly to change.
WHEN TO INVOLVE BCC
Get the right advice before the design is fixed
We support clients and project teams from initial feasibility through to concept and early design development.
01
Feasibility Studies
Identify the Building Regulations issues that may influence the project's direction, scope and next steps.

Help the team establish whether a Planning Gateway One application may be required and what information needs to be considered.
