To help clients define and express their goals, Blu Room Architecture has developed a total project delivery process that helps uncover both existing and future needs to ensure that the interior and exterior spaces as well as infrastructure can be adapted for future uses.
Stage 1 – Meet & Discuss
Obviously, many factors including; size, construction type, complexity of design and quality of materials will affect build costs – we will be able to provide budget cost advice and suggest options for design solutions.
We will then be able to develop sketch designs, give technical construction advice and also provide preliminary planning guidance.
Stage 3 – Detailed Design & Building Regulations Approval
The Building Regulations set standards for the design and construction of buildings to ensure the safety and health for people in or about those buildings. They also include requirements to ensure that fuel and power is conserved and facilities are provided for people, including those with disabilities, to access and move around inside buildings. Detailed drawings (indicating floor plans, elevations and cross-sections) and construction notes are required to ensure that the proposed scheme meets (or exceeds) the requirements stated within the Approved Documents of the Building Regulations. Subject to a comprehensive and technically accurate set of documents being submitted, Building Regulations Approval is likely.
When both Planning Permission and Building Regulations approval have been obtained, building work can legally commence (subject to any other statutory approvals, if relevant).
