What is a Part M Compliance Report?
A Part M Compliance Report is a document used to document and track all instances of compliance with Part M Building Regulations in the UK. It serves as evidence of compliance to Approved Document Part M, in the form of supporting evidence packets, and ensures that your building is safe, freely accessible and usable by everyone, including elderly, children, wheelchair users, or those who have limited mobility. This report is highly relevant in most newly built buildings in the UK, as building inspectors take this into account when deciding to issue a certificate of occupancy for your building.
Additionally, another important role of a Part M Compliance Report is as the master file that can sum up all other inspection reports and safety and quality checklists. Many engineers use compliance reports to help simplify all the data and other notes into a neat, easy to digest report that can give other stakeholders (such as clients, safety inspectors, etc.) a good birds-eye-view of the compliance status in a given project.

What is Part M of the Building Regulations?
Part M, or Approved Document M, is part of a series of approved documents issued by the UK Building Regulation in England and Wales. The Building Regulation parts cover a range of topics from ventilation, protection from falling, to fire safety. Specifically, Part M covers the “Access to and Use of Buildings” and generally deals with accessibility and inclusive building design when it comes to accessways and means of traversing within a building. Ideally, this ensures that any new buildings are safe, accessible and usable by everyone - including people with disabilities, limited mobility, the elderly, and even children.
Part M building regulations is divided into two volumes, taking into consideration different risk levels and protection needed for a dwelling and for a non-dwelling building. Specifically, the requirements are divided as follows:
Volume 1: Dwellings
- M4(1): Visitable dwellings
- M4(2): Accessible and adaptable dwellings
- M4(3): Wheelchair user dwellings
Volume 2: Buildings Other than Dwellings
- M1: Access and Use of Buildings Other than Dwellings
- M2: Access to extensions to Buildings Other than Dwellings
- M3: Sanitary conveniences in extensions to Buildings Other than Dwellings
The Importance of Accessibility of Buildings
Accessibility is a key feature in modern architecture and modern building design. It ensures that everyone is able to safely access and use any portion of the building or space - regardless of age or circumstance. Stemming from the Equality Act of 2010, UK Building Regulations issued their set of regulations for any new building to comply with. As a result, these new buildings featured new inclusive designs that promoted safety and equality for all its occupants.
Aside from the legal and regulatory requiremetns, designing with accessibility in mind has also shown to produce future-proof buildings, as this helps extend a building’s useful life. It reduces costly retrofitting costs and supports sustainable urban development. Additionally, accessibility also increases a building’s commercial and social value, as it attracts a wider user base, fosters diversity, and improves public relations and perception of your building.
