As broadband and digital infrastructure become an essential part of modern buildings, many developments are required to demonstrate compliance with Part R of the Building Regulations. A Connectivity Plan shows how a development will be provided with suitable physical infrastructure to support high-speed electronic communications networks.
At One Stop Consult, we help homeowners, developers, architects and builders arrange Connectivity Plans for projects throughout Coventry. Working alongside experienced specialists, we ensure your development has the necessary documentation to satisfy Building Regulations requirements and help avoid unnecessary delays during the approval process.
Whether you’re constructing a new dwelling, apartment scheme or commercial development, we can help coordinate your Connectivity Plan as part of your wider Building Regulations package.
