Building Regs Explained
Building Regulations are a set of requirements laid down by Parliament to ensure that building work is carried out to approved standards including:
- The health, safety and welfare of people in and around buildings.
- The conservation of fuel and energy within buildings.
- Ease of access and facilities for disabled people in public and commercial buildings.
- Fire safety and means of escape from buildings.
The Building Regulations cover a wide range of building work from major office, shop and residential developments to small domestic works like extensions, through lounges and loft conversions.
