I didn’t know plans could have free access. ill consider it. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughF Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Why not just do it on a building notice and make it up as you go along? No need for drawings if your builder is vaguely competent. We're doing 16m2 rear extension, mono pitch, on a notice at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose because I am a visual person and I don’t understand most of the work unless I can see a drawing or a video of it. It will be easier for me to write things down when I am able to go through the layers and details, rather than miss important details and then it would be my fault. I managed to find a few really good resources online along with copyrighted drawings which I am able to use for guidance. Equally very fortune to have an experienced guide reviewing my work till my final submission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much less wasteful of labour and material and cheaper by my calcs too. Better for airtightness and windtightness and heat protection also if done properly.

Fair enough… I’m a close my eyes and visualise it sort of person so I have no need for drawings and all that guff 🤣 my builder is a building notice kind of guy so we get on well. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAB Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) This website below is what I used to do prepare my own Planning & Building Reg drawings for a 'wrap around' 2-storey rear extension /single storey side extension. Along with lots of research online and it also helped me being a Mechanical Engineer able to use AutoCAD..... The website below is also recommended by my local authority Building Control:- Is there any software to help me prepare plans for Building Control? Yes. One which we like is from a company called Building Regs 4 Plans. The website is: www.buildingregs4plans.co.uk Edited July 21, 2023 by MAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
