ABSTRACT
The correct application of materials produced to the recommendations of British, European and International Standards authorities, in accordance with local building regulations, bye-laws and the rules of building guarantee companies – such as the National House Building Council (NHBC) and MD Insurance Services – should ensure a sound and functional structure. However, these controls can be seriously undermined if the human factor of quality workmanship is not fulfilled. The following guidance is designed to promote quality control:
BS 8000: Workmanship on construction sites.
Building Regulations, Approved Document to support Regulation 7 – Materials and workmanship.
