  • Using the Building Regulations: Administrative Proceduresby Mike Billington

    Taylor & Francis 2005; US$ 60.95

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 the background to the Building Regulations, and... more...
