Building regulations checks services for Huntingdon​

Providing an external Building Regulations structural checking service to independant Approved Inspectors, we can offer initial checks through to detailed verification of calculations and drawings prepared by designers – whatever you need, Richard Herrmann Associates Ltd are based in Cambridgeshire, supporting clients across the UK.

Supporting successful regulatory submissions

 
 
 
 

Achieving smooth approval through local authorities can be challenging when documentation is incomplete, inconsistent, or misaligned with statutory requirements. For projects in Huntingdon and across Cambridgeshire, delays at the submission stage often result from gaps in technical coordination rather than design intent. Richard Herrmann Associates Ltd provides a structured construction document review service that supports building control compliance by identifying issues early and resolving them before submission. 

Our engineers undertake thorough building regulations checks to ensure calculations, drawings, and specifications align with current standards and approval expectations. With insights from experienced structural engineers, we help reduce queries, revisions, and approval delays, allowing design and construction teams to progress smoothly, knowing submissions are professionally verified.

A detailed review with technical support and advice

Our service goes beyond a basic compliance check. We review the full set of documentation, including architectural drawings, structural calculations, and supporting reports, to ensure that we understand the structure sufficiently to be able to appropriately check the original design.

 

By providing a detailed, holistic review of all submitted documents, we help to reduce the risk of errors and omissions that could cause delays during the approval process. 

Engineering oversight and technical assurance

 

A key differentiator of our service is the level of senior engineering oversight applied to every project. Each building control submission check is led by a Chartered Engineer with decades of experience in complex commercial developments. This ensures that technical judgement, not just checklist compliance, underpins every review. Our team regularly supports architects and contractors by providing secondary verification of calculations, giving added assurance where schemes involve unusual load paths, constrained sites, or high-performance requirements. Drawing on over 38 years of practice, we understand how building control officers assess risk and compliance in real terms. The result is a dependable, solution-focused service that strengthens submissions and protects project timelines.
