Working Drawings
Once Planning Permission has been granted, the next stage is to produce a full set of Working Drawings.
A full set of Working Drawings will allow the builders to provide you with an accurate build cost. A Working Drawing package is used to build from, to help with site co-ordination and to satisfy building control.
The Final Step before Construction
Your build will almost definitely require Building Regulations Approval. This can be achieved by your Local Authority or an Approved Inspector. We can recommend companies that we work with regularly or you can instruct your own.
​
Our Working Drawing packages include all of the relevant details such as sections, a specification and all relevant building notes to achieve full Building Control approval. This will provide your chosen builder with detailed plans to work from and our drawings will help reduce risk of mistakes on site.
​
Our fee proposal would vary as the amount of work required depends on the detail required and the project scale. If you have achieved planning and are now looking to instruct a full set of Working Drawings, get in touch for a quote!
Do I need Working Drawings?
Working Drawings provide graphical and specific dimensional information. This data is used by the contractors to provide an accurate build cost and to build the proposed structure and includes extremely specific information. This ensures that the builder has as much information about the build as possible and acts as a contract between yourself and the builder. Not all builders will require these drawings and this depends on the size and complexity of the design.
