Planning Drawings are a simplified representation of building project, designed to assist the local planning authority in evaluating the proposed changes. These drawings highlight new materials, features, and other aspects of the building and other key elements important in this process.
Building regulation drawings are a set of detailed drawings and construction details that are submitted to the local building control authority.
These incorporate structural information from the engineers, thermal insulation, calculation and proof of full compliance with all the relevant parts of the current Building Regulations. This document is also important for the contractor as it contains key information that is needed to price the project accurately.
Structural engineers use special drawings of buildings to figure out what it needs to stay strong and safe. They look at things like steel beams, foundations, structural slabs and structural walls.
These drawings are important because they show how the building will stay standing and safe.
