What the Building Regulations do for us

The Building Regulations exist to "ensure the health and safety of people in and around all types of buildings (i.e. domestic, commercial, and industrial)."

The Approved Documents provide guidance on the performance expected of material & building work in order to comply with the Regulations.
They refer directly to "the standards and technical approvals" such as the British and European Standards, the B.B.A. etc., as detailed sources for proof of compliance. Proof of compliance is a statutory requirement.

"There is a legal presumption that if you have followed the guidance, then this is evidence that your work has complied with the Building Regulations."
