Explaining more about the new Assent and JHAI approvals on hup !, Ultraframe Marketing Director , Alex Hewitt , said : “ It ’ s fantastic news for hup ! users that the system has been approved by both Assent and JHAI for hassle-free Building Regulations . Both providers are highly experienced and handle thousands of Building Regulation applications each year to make life easier for builders and installers .

“ The hup ! system is all about ease – ease of ordering , ease of build and now ease of project management . Building Regulation requirements differ by project type , and so to offer transparency to hup ! builders we have agreed procedures and fees with both Assent and JHAI for various types of hup ! build . The hup ! build types included under the approvals schemes with Assent and JHAI include replacement roofs , traditional

extensions with any Ultraframe roof , hup ! conservatory transformations , and entire hup ! extensions .

“ This enables hup ! installers to understand the inspection requirements at various stages of different build types and means that there will be a consistent approach across building inspectors , so builders know what to expect . It ’ s also helpful for hup ! builders to know fixed prices for each project type upfront when they are quoting – especially conservatory transformations which are priced cost effectively to keep costs low on these popular projects when the existing base is used . For example , Building Regulation Approval when transforming a conservatory on an existing base into an extension can cost as little as £ 450 .”

Ultraframe has agreed specific procedures and prices for hup ! when used for different types of builds , ensuring pricing reassurance and consistency for builders . For example , a replacement roof project will require one inspection , while a hup ! extension will require three and will be priced higher than the replacement roof project . Builders can simply reference the manual for each company to check on the number of inspections and the

associated cost for the various types of hup ! build . The hup ! system can be used with Ultraframe ’ s Glass Roof , Livinroof , Ultraroof or Flat Roof for ultimate design flexibility .

To attain a Building Control certificate in a hassle-free way hup ! builders simply notify Assent or JHAI about an intended project with copies of the plans . JHAI or Assent would then notify the relevant Local Authority and carry out any necessary inspections before issuing the Building Control final certificate . This process is fast and hassle free for the installer as Assent and JHAI have fully assessed and approved the hup ! system and so there is no need for builders to source technical documentation etc . as they would when attaining a certificate through Building Control . There is often a requirement for additional information when going via the Building Control route , adding considerable time to each project .
