As someone who regularly submits building regulations applications, I was interested to see exactly what house plans had to offer. As a one off specification the documents are perfect. The problem may come when using them constantly and the regulations get updated then a newer version would have to be purchased every time. But on a current single submission this would be great.
Thank you for your feedback, Mr. Helps. We take on board your point with regard to regular users of our specification documents. Would a 'lifetime access' version of the specification, which gave you the chance to download the latest copy whenever it is updated, be an option that would be of interest?
Excellent! Helpful and accessible.
Andy helps throughout the whole process with excellent ideas and knowledge.
Great ideas tailored to the individual ideas of the client. Highly recommended .
i received exactly what i asked for
Thank you for your review Raymond, hope we can be of further assistance in the future!
I only downloaded a free sample of the building regs notes and they looked pretty good from what I could see. I have no doubt I will purchase the full version in the near future when I have a project next come up or possibly before hand.
Thanks for the feedback Steve, hope we can be of service again soon!
Great Excel yet simple document for preparation of schedule of works
Good quality service with up to date information. Working for myself this is a good secondary source of information to use and add to my existing specifications
It was a good base to start but a bit out of date and a few things missing
Good morning David, thank you for your feedback on our specification template. It was updated in January 2022 so we are disappointed to hear that you felt it was out of date. I have contacted you directly to discuss further, we are always keen to improve the products and services we offer so your thoughts would be very welcome.

So far so good, havent had the plans yet, but seen obliging in changing details on the set plans
I needed information for a course I was doing and this helped me to no end!
Expensive for a 4side download. Not enough measurements , room sizes etc.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback.
We do try to explain clearly what the pre-application pack includes, both by way of the written description and the visual example shown on the product page. It obviously does not go into as much detail as the full planning drawings, but in our experience it provides more than enough information for pre-application advice to be obtained from your local authority.
I'm sorry that your expectations were not met on this occasion. We will take on board your suggestion that, although we show the m2 area of each room, we could perhaps also include the dimensions of each room as we do on the product page.
In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or via the phone number or LiveChat facility on our website if you would like to discuss further.

I would recommend their service. they are professional, helpful, and nothing is too much trouble. Since my first project I have used them again on a barn conversion.
I highly recommend this company.
It's a great site, there is so much choice of plans, a plan for everyone, from tiny homes to xl homes, and a great selection of styles to chose from, I give this 5*.
Will definitely use excellent service saving us a lot of money
These plans provide the perfect starting point for planning applications.
A very comprehensive specification that should cover all areas of concern as governed by various Local Authorities and Building Control regarding small scale residential building. With various methods of construction noted, while understandably not being able to make provision for the limitless variations possible, it nonetheless provides a solid basis from which specifications can be altered or added. A very helpful and worthwhile resource at reasonable cost.
Spoke online and received good advice will be ordering full package soon
Really poor service. Avoid
Hi Ewan, our records show that you downloaded a free sample of one of our technical specifications. Can you elaborate on what prompted you to leave us such a poor review? We've never been left a bad review for a free sample before, so I'm just curious. Look forward to hearing from you.
Excellent service and value for money, highly recommended. I firstly used Houseplansdirect for the planning which was accepted with minimal questions by a notoriously difficult local planning dept. I also used them for the building regs package which was extremely detailed. My correspondence was with Andy Carr who is very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I am now building my house !
Such good interaction and process; very impressive
