About the Book

This new edition of Building Regulations Explained incorporates the latest amendments to the regulations which came into effect during 1995. It starts with the development of building control and then describes procedural aspects before dealing with all 14 approved documents in detail, showing their relevance and method of operation, with the help of numerous tables and diagrams. A number of appendices give much helpful information and useful sources. From the reviews of the 3rd and 4th editions. "Building Regulations Explained ...is more than a guide in the usual sense, it sets the Regulations in context" - AJ Focus "This is a very useful reference book ...which will find a place on my bookshelf." - Harry Hosker, Architects Journal "This is a must for every Technical Library or builder's bookshelf, and will be of immense value to architects, surveyors and others in interpreting and applying these complex regulations." - Geoff Hatton, ASI Journal
