A Guide to the Building regulation update

11/03/2019 by in News

Anchor has produced a brief building regulation update guide concentrating around Document G, H, M and Q.

We work in a world governed by rules, regulations and legislation and making head or tail of it sometimes can be a bit of a minefield. In this eBook, we will try to make the changes in the Building Regulations that came into effect on the 1st October 2015 a little easier to digest.

Firstly, any applications that started on site before the 1st October 2016 will be in a transitional period and will be assessed under the old Approved Documents but must be adhered to after this period. The start of work in the eyes of the department is as follows:

  • Excavation for strip or trench foundations or pad footings
  • Digging out and preparation of the ground for raft foundations
  • Vibro-floatation (stone columns) piling, boring for piles or pile driving
  • Drainage work specific to the building(s) concerned.

Let’s take a look at the updates and see what has changed – please click to download the guide – 2015 building regulations update
