Well arranged and easy to follow, The Building Regulations: Explained and Illustrated is an excellent publication that allows students and experienced professionals alike to become familiar with the often wide array of Building Regulations in the UK, with detailed examples of many areas of applying regulations to real situations. After purchasing the book, many questions I had in regard to applying Building Regulations to actual problems both in new build as well as existing modernisation or alteration to properties were quickly resolved and simply understood because of the manner in the way the book is written; and this will, I am confident, be experienced by students and professionals alike who add this to their data bases.
