Compliance & Regulations
Compliance is easier when assumptions are explicit. Therefore, this page explains the common UK references and how we confirm requirements in the quote pack.
Local context examples: Cardiff / Caerdydd (Wales), Edinburgh / Dùn Èideann (Scotland), Manchester (Greater Manchester), Bristol (Somerset).
Core compliance topics
Compliance depends on intended use and site context. Therefore, we confirm assumptions in the quote pack rather than leaving them implicit.
Building Regulations
Approved Documents are a baseline reference. In addition, building control will confirm project-specific requirements.
Fire strategy
Fire performance depends on use, occupancy and proximity constraints. Therefore, fire strategy assumptions must be clear.
Energy (Part L)
Energy performance targets change by project type. Consequently, Part L paths should be defined early where applicable.
Accessibility
Inclusive access and practical circulation matter in public buildings. In practice, routes and door widths must be planned early.
Education guidance
Schools often reference BB93 and BB101. Therefore, we include official links and use-case context.
Documentation
Clear assumptions, inclusions and exclusions reduce risk. As a result, approvals become easier.
UK Building Regulations (Approved Documents)
The Approved Documents provide baseline requirements and guidance. However, the final compliance path depends on your intended use, site constraints and building control approach.
Therefore, we treat Building Regulations references as a framework. The quote pack confirms the scope assumptions used for pricing and delivery planning.
Fire strategy — what changes the specification
Fire performance requirements depend on occupancy and proximity. Therefore, fire strategy assumptions must be agreed early, especially for public buildings and schools.
When REI60 may be required
If the brief requires enhanced fire performance, the system path may change. Consequently, wall/roof/floor build-ups can differ from standard units.
Site constraints matter
Distances to boundaries and adjacent buildings can influence strategy. In addition, escape routes and access planning must be confirmed.
Quote pack clarity
We confirm the assumed fire performance path in the quote pack. Therefore, scope and pricing remain transparent.
Energy compliance (Part L 2021)
Energy performance expectations depend on building type and intended duration. Therefore, Part L paths should be defined early when the building is long-term or non-domestic.
In practice, the quote pack confirms the chosen option path (e.g., Part L 2021 A-rated) and the assumptions used for that specification.
Accessibility and inclusive design
Accessibility is both physical and informational. Therefore, we plan clear routes, practical doors and accessible WC solutions where required.
In addition, we structure pages and quote packs so content is readable and extractable. Consequently, stakeholders can review scope quickly.
Education compliance context (DfE guidance)
Education projects often reference DfE guidance on acoustics and ventilation. Therefore, we link to the official sources commonly used in project discussions.
