A Part R Connectivity Statement is required for a new build project under the Building Regulations 2010 to ensure compliance with Requirement R1: In-building physical infrastructure for high-speed electronic communications networks. This regulation mandates that new buildings must be equipped with the necessary infrastructure to support connections to high-speed broadband networks.
The statement serves as formal documentation demonstrating that the building has been designed and constructed with provisions for:
-
Suitable ducting, cabling, and termination points to facilitate gigabit-capable broadband access.
-
Compatibility with current and future broadband technologies to prevent costly retrofits.
-
Compliance with statutory obligations under The Building (Amendment) Regulations 2022, which enforce the requirement for new dwellings and major renovations to be gigabit-ready.
By submitting a Part R Connectivity Statement, developers confirm that the project meets these connectivity requirements, ensuring that future occupants can access reliable, high-speed internet services from the outset.

Our Director commentary about the profession."Building Control is now a regulated profession in England. Only Registered building inspectors (RBIs) can carry out the restricted activities involved during compliance checking of projects. Always make sure you check the credentials and authenticity of RBIs you are talking to about your projects. Impersonating an RBI is a criminal offence.
