Using the Building Regulations: Part A Structure

by M.J. Billington

As the Building Regulations and Approved Documents have become more and more complex, they have become increasingly unfriendly for a professional user. Compliance is only possible by understanding a wide range of supporting documentation. Alternative approaches are implied, but not described or analysed.

This series of books on individual Documents goes far beyond analysis of the Regulations and Documents themselves, and offers practical advice on using not just the traditional routes to compliance but also on the alternative approaches suggested but not explained in the Approved Documents. The advantages and disadvantages of each form of compliance are analysed in depth.

This book examines in detail Part A on Structures and takes the user through all the key stages of preparation, compliance, inspection and enforcement.

*Provides detailed guidance to understanding Part A
*Contains practical advice to achieve compliance
*Alternative approaches explained and evaluated
