Water Calculations – Part G Compliance
Meeting the requirements of Part G of the UK Building Regulations is essential for ensuring that new developments adhere to water efficiency standards. Part G sets a maximum water usage target of 125 litres per person per day for residential properties, but some local authorities, including those governed by the London Plan, impose stricter limits of 110 litres per person per day. These enhanced requirements reflect the need for sustainable water use in regions facing greater resource pressures.
These calculations assess the projected water consumption of a development, factoring in the flow rates of taps, showers, baths, toilets, and appliances. Demonstrating compliance ensures that your project meets regulatory standards, aligns with local planning policies, and avoids delays during the approval process.
Our service simplifies the process of achieving compliance with Part G and additional local requirements. We begin by analysing your building plans to calculate expected water usage using approved methodologies and tools.
Once the analysis is complete, we prepare a detailed compliance report tailored to meet both national and local planning requirements. This report provides all the necessary data and documentation for your building application and is designed to simplify the submission process. Should any council queries arise, we are available to provide expert support and guidance.
Our expertise ensures that your project not only meets regulatory standards but also contributes positively to water conservation goals. Whether you are a property developer, architect, or homeowner, we offer tailored solutions for projects of all sizes, from single dwellings to multi-unit developments.
