Scottish Building Standards in Brief

portal61 · 01-15-2012, 12:40 PM

This is a statutory instrument, which sets out the minimum requirements and performance standards for the design and construction of buildings, and extensions to buildings. The current regulations are the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004.
Although the regulations are comparatively short, they rely on their technical detail being available in two technical handbooks (one for domestic and one for non-domestic buildings) and a vast number of British, European and international standards, codes of practice, drafts for development, published documents and other non-statutory guidance documents. The aim of our book, therefore, is to provide the reader with an in-brief guide that can act as an aide-mémoire to the current requirements of the Building (Scotland) Regulations. Intended readers are primarily builders and the DIY fraternity (who need to know the regulations but do not require the detail), but the book, with its ready reference and no-nonsense approach, will be equally useful to students, architects, designers, building surveyors and inspectors, etc.
