ABSTRACT
3 The Requirements of the Building Regulations Introduction The current Statutory Instruments concerning Building Regulations can be found in Table 3.1 (Appendix 3A provides more details of the changes contained within these SIs). This chapter provides a breakdown of the key elements of each Approved Document, showing not only the regulation, but also an overview of the actual requirement ‘in a nutshell’. This acts as a good starting point to understand the regulations, which are then expanded upon in much more detail by specific building elements in Chapter 6.
