Safety and regulations - vital for architects

With the designs of all our projects, we offer no less than our best. We have an outstanding reputation as the providers of the leading residential architecture London has to offer.In order to comply with the law, architects must consider a number of things within their designs. This allows us to create a quality space that is safe for the occupants and the public. We look at different aspects such as fire safety and rules that need following to gain approval.

What Are Building Regulations?

These are mandatory standards that are made up of 14 parts from A-P. They state the minimum standards of work necessary within a project. This covers most builds as well as many alterations of existing structures. Examples of topics include workmanship, materials, structure, insulation, fire safety and energy efficiency.An architect plays a central role in a project. This is not only for the design and layout but also to ensure that you follow these rules. In order to create a safe and compliant space, there may be obstacles to overcome. We have experience doing this to reduce hassle and allow for swift work.We consider these regulations from the outset. This gives the design the best chance of getting approval from Building Control. You can then move on with your project and avoid issues later down the line.

Fire Safety

As we said, one of the many vital parts of our work is fire safety. Working elements of this into a project is rather simple and will minimise the risks of heat and smoke. This might be through the choice of materials and the design itself. The inclusion of fire doors and adding in a safe escape route which firefighters can also use is wise too.At Coffey Architects we have vast experience working with building regulations. We can lend a hand in numerous areas such as obtaining planning permission and more. All you need to do is reach out to the provider of residential architecture London trusts.
