Building Regulations and Construction

Expert architectural support to take your project from planning approval to the final build—stress-free, compliant, and ready to construct.

If you’ve received planning permission, the next essential step is producing Building Regulation drawings—detailed technical plans and specifications that make your vision buildable. At Metters & Wellby Architects, we specialise in preparing construction-ready architectural drawings and managing the building control application process on your behalf. Whether you’re renovating a luxury property, converting a barn under Class Q, or building a new home in Cornwall, we ensure everything is fully compliant, accurate, and coordinated—so you can build with confidence.

Regulation Drawings: From design to construction detail

Planning permission only gives you the green light to proceed in principle. You’ll still need detailed, compliant technical drawings to gain building control approval and to guide your builder on site. Our role during this phase is to develop the drawings and documentation that ensure your project complies with UK Building Regulations—covering structural integrity, insulation, fire safety, drainage, and more.

What we provide:

Fully compliant construction drawings and specifications

Coordination of specialist consultants (e.g. structural engineers)

Preparation and management of your building control submission

Collaborative working with your builder and consultants to ensure alignment

Construction Phase Support: Protecting your vision on site

Once construction begins, we stay closely involved to monitor progress and support your builder. This ensures your home is built exactly as designed—and that challenges can be dealt with quickly.

Our comprehensive service covers everything from technical building regulation drawings to on-site architectural support during construction. It’s all about turning your approved design into a finished, beautiful home—without the stress. Whether you're planning a luxury new build, a high-end renovation, or a barn conversion in Cornwall, we're here to guide you through every detail, every drawing, and every challenge.
