Building Regulations Drawings for Residential & Commercial Projects
At Draw Plans Architectural Design Studio, we produce detailed and fully compliant building regulations drawings for both residential and commercial building projects across the UK. Whether you're extending a home, converting a loft, building from the ground up, or fitting out a commercial space, our building control drawings provide the technical guidance needed for approval — and for construction.
We don’t just prepare plans to pass building control — we create detailed technical drawings that help builders construct everything correctly on-site, including foundations, walls, roofs, insulation, drainage, electrics, heating and much more.
