Water Calculations

Meeting Part G compliance, simply and efficiently.

Why it is Required

Water efficiency calculations — required under Part G of the Building Regulations — demonstrate that a new dwelling is designed to meet the maximum permitted water consumption target. In most areas, that target is 125 litres per person per day (or 110 litres in higher water stress areas). The calculation takes account of the fittings and appliances specified — including WCs, showers, baths, basins, and washing machines — and confirms whether the overall design meets the required standard.

At APT UK, we carry out water calculations accurately and promptly, providing the documentation your building control application requires.

Our Process is Straightforward

Do I need them

Water calculations are required for all new build dwellings in England as part of the Building Regulations approval process. They are also required for some conversion projects. Your local building control body or approved inspector will confirm the specific requirements for your project.
