NEW BUILDING REGULATIONS

摘要

Described by some as "the most radical changes to face the construction industry in 20 years", the requirements being introduced in the amended Building Regulations will be a challenge for all of the industry. More than ten years ago the requirements to provide smoke detection in dwellings, escape windows and safety glazing were introduced through the Building Regulations. Today, these have become the industry norm and no professional architect or builder would contemplate erecting a building without them. Over the next year we will witness further evolution, with several major changes to the Regulations. Whilst some of the proposals are at a very early stage of drafting, this article is intended to give you an insight into the changes.
