This practical time-saver manual summarises what the Approved Documents to the Building Regulations (England and Wales) and associated guidance require and explains how to comply.
Structured by ¿Part¿ of the Building Regulations and highlighting key compliance issues, the guidance focuses on the more difficult areas such as Part L. Advice is also given where third-party guidance and standards cited in the Approved Documents have been revised but the Approved Document itself has not yet been updated, making this undoubtedly the most current book on the topic.An uncluttered and user-friendly layout allows the essentials to be assimilated quickly and enables readers to navigate easily from section to section.
Written to save time for hard-pressed users,¿ Guide to the Building Regulations¿ will be a welcome companion for architects, construction professionals and building control officers alike.
