Planning & compliance
Confirm the route for the exact building, use and site.
Modular describes a method of delivery. It does not create an automatic exemption from planning, Building Regulations or other legal requirements.
The core principle
No compliance claim from appearance alone.
The regulatory position can change with location, permanence, use, occupancy, dimensions, construction, servicing and site context.
Project review areas
The questions behind an approval.
Intended use
Residential, sleeping, hospitality, workplace, welfare, education and temporary uses can present materially different duties.
Planning position
Development status, use, siting, local policy, permitted-development arguments and conditions require site-specific review.
Building Regulations
Structure, fire, ventilation, sanitation, drainage, energy, access, electrical safety and other parts may apply.
Product evidence
Drawings, materials, calculations, tests, certificates, factory QA and installation details must relate to the offered configuration.
Site design
Ground, foundations, access, utilities, drainage, flood risk, ecology, landscape and neighbours sit outside the factory product.
Operation
Management, maintenance, inspections, fire arrangements, accessibility, licensing and user safety continue after handover.
One product, two evidence layers
Factory information is only the beginning.
The exact product pack must be reconciled with the UK project design: use, occupants, ground, access, utilities, fire strategy and approvals.
- Exact model, revision and option schedule
- Evidence matched to materials and construction
- Site-specific professional design
- Recorded gaps, owners and decision gates

Project gate
Unknowns stay visible. Compliance is never assumed.
A product is not presented as suitable for a project until its intended use, compliance pathway and indicative delivered economics are understood and evidenced.
