When submitting an application to the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) or a Registered Building Control Approver (RBCA), it’s crucial to ensure your application is complete, clear, and compliant. Incomplete or unclear applications can lead to delays—or even rejection.
To help you submit high-quality applications, the BSR has published a new FAQ Explainer with top tips:
+ Identify Compliance Areas
Make a comprehensive list of all project elements requiring compliance (e.g., structural and fire safety). This ensures nothing is missed.
+ Clarify Standards
Specify which standards, codes, or documents your design follows and why. Provide a clear rationale for your compliance solutions.
+ Justify Compliance
Include a narrative explaining how compliance is achieved for each element of the work. This ensures your building control body can verify compliance efficiently.
+ Remember: Building control bodies no longer provide pre-application advice or guidance on compliance.
At Qualitas Compliance, we can help! As an independent consultancy, we offer impartial design advice throughout the design and construction process, giving you the confidence that your application meets all building regulation requirements.
