External Works Design
One of the crucial key components of External works design involves the design of external levels around the proposed development site. External levels design is crucial for construction projects because it directly affects drainage, accessibility, and the overall integration of the building with its surroundings. Proper design of external levels ensures that water is effectively directed away from the building to prevent flooding and water damage. It also facilitates smooth transitions between different areas, making the site accessible to all users, including those with mobility challenges. Additionally, well-planned levels help in achieving a balanced and aesthetically pleasing landscape, which can enhance property value and user satisfaction. Moreover, it minimises the need for costly modifications post-construction by addressing potential issues early in the design phase.
Providing final external works layout plans that include finished floor levels, as well as levels for footpaths, driveways, and private parking areas in accordance with Part M building regulations, is essential for ensuring accessibility and compliance with legal standards. Part M of the building regulations focuses on access to and use of buildings, which includes considerations for people with disabilities. By aligning your external works with these regulations, we ensure that the project is inclusive and accessible for all users. This approach not only meets legal requirements but also enhances the usability and appeal of the development.
Providing construction details for private drives and footways tailored to the surface finishes specified by the Client or Architect is a critical step in ensuring that the finished product meets aesthetic and functional requirements. These details typically include information on materials, base layers, thicknesses, and construction methods to ensure durability and performance. Tailoring these details to suit specified finishes ensures that the design intent is realised and that the surfaces are durable and fit for purpose. This also helps in achieving a cohesive look that complements the overall design of the project.
