Important scope
Research, not approval.
BuildRules summarizes published guidance and organizes questions to resolve. It does not approve a design, issue a permit, replace a qualified professional, or guarantee that a project is feasible on a specific property.
From public guidance to your preparation plan.
Free guides explain general rules. Your paid brief organizes one address and project scope, documents to gather, unresolved property questions and next actions into a reviewed, printable pack. It is prepared from published guidance and the information you supply; it includes no site inspection or design assessment.
After payment: submit the address and scope, follow the review status using your private link, then read or save the completed brief as a PDF. We email you when it is ready. Staff review is required; this is not an instant report.
