Building Regulations Approval for New Storage Unit in Bodmin

Supporting the growth of a local business through Building Regulations and CDM services.

We’re pleased to have recently secured Building Regulations approval for a new light industrial storage unit in Bodmin, supporting an expanding local business as it looks to increase its operational capacity and provide additional storage space.

The project represents another positive step in the business’s continued development, helping create the facilities needed to support its future growth. For us, it’s also a good example of how our technical and regulatory expertise can support commercial projects of different scales, helping local businesses turn their plans for expansion into deliverable developments.

Building Regulations: Getting the technical details right

Building Regulations set out the standards that building work must meet to ensure buildings are safe, accessible and perform as they should.

For this project, we’ve supported our client through the technical design and Building Regulations approval process, addressing the relevant requirements and developing the information needed to progress towards construction.

Getting these details right is an important part of preparing any building project. A well-considered technical package helps establish how the building will meet the required standards and provides a sound foundation for the next stage.

Supporting local business and development

Projects such as this demonstrate the value of supporting development at a local level. Additional light industrial storage capacity will help our client respond to the needs of an expanding business, while contributing to the continued use and development of local commercial premises.

At Laurence Associates, we support a wide range of residential and commercial projects, bringing together planning, architecture, technical design and specialist expertise to help clients navigate the requirements involved in taking a project forward.

Whether you’re looking to expand an existing business, develop new commercial space or improve your current premises, we can help you understand the requirements and progress your proposals with confidence.

If you’re considering a commercial development or business expansion, we’d be pleased to discuss how our team can support your project.
