Hi

 

I am about engage a private building control company for my building control full plans sign off.

i just want to make sure I have all the

Documents they may request.


-block plan

-full scaled floor drawings, include cavity/insulation/ventilation info and steel and lintel info also windows.

- detailed foundation and drainage drawings include foundation depths, block and beam info.

-first floor joist drawings (provided by timber company L)

-roof plan and timber joist drawings (provided by timber company) include weight bearing calculations etc

- desktop ground survey report 

- SAP calculation report 

 

is there anything I’m missing here?

 

im demolishing a bungalow (only built in 1992) and replacing with a house in largely the same foot print but extending on both sides.


will I need anything else to get the building control sign off?

Floor plans, elevations and sections.

Relevant construction details.

Relevant materials specifications.

Location map.

 

You often will just need basic information for an Initial Notice, then they will do a plan check and come back with any queries.  Main points are foundations, structure, fire safety and drainage.

That's a pretty good start. The BC company will come back to you with any queries they have. Bit like an MOT - you hope you've got a well prepared car and then they find something you hadn't thought of! (Like the non-working hazard light switch - just saying..) Wait to see if they need any more info.
