Essential Links & Resources

The DraftCheck templates and checklists have been shaped by the latest UK industry regulations, quality standards, and best practice guidance. Resources such as the RIBA Plan of Work, Building Safety Act, ISO 9001 and ISO 19650 standards, and the UK BIM Framework provide the backbone for how projects are planned, reviewed, and documented.

By referencing these authoritative sources, DraftCheck ensures every checklist and template aligns with:

  • Regulatory compliance (BSA Gateways, Building Regulations, CDM 2015)

  • Quality management principles (ISO 9001, ISO 19650)

  • Design coordination best practice (RIBA Plan of Work, BIM Alliance guidance)

  • Sustainability and safety standards (BREEAM, UKGBC, Fire Safety Approved Documents)

This foundation means your project reviews, QA processes, and documentation workflows are always consistent, transparent, and audit-ready.
