        Hi Darrmolo,

        I can do this for you. If your interested I can do it in Revit and you'll have both 2D and 3D views and I can include some 3D renders of the finished interior and exterior of the house.

          You are opting out of the Statutory Certificate requirements of BCAR, not the Building control Act requirements of compliance with the Building Regulations.

          Again, how will you get a Certificate or opinion of compliance with building and planning regulations?

          Who is doing the Preliminary BER?
          Air Tightness Testing?
          Who is making sure that it all complies?

          Do you have to get somebody to sign off that it all complies if you opt out? How can a professional do this if the op is opting out?

          This could be the worst decision of your life OP.....get an architect, it's a small cost in the grand scheme of things.
