Building Regulations Pocket Book (Routledge Pocket Books)

Amazing quick reference on site.

Any builder/engineer/designer should always be in possession of this book or similar. Whether at a desk or in a van. Always have a latest edition, and no conflict with the building inspector!

'Pocket Book' suggests to me a quick, concise, easy-to-read reference. However, this is 650 pages, written in a small font and with few pictures or drawings so it resembles a bible. It's also 'perfect bound', thick, and with a stiff binding - so it's difficult to open and read and wont stay open where you left it. It's probably quicker and easier to refer to the actual building regulations.

If you are looking for a manual where you can search an index for specific regulations in an ordered sequence, this isn’t it. I find it extremely difficult to navigate my way through it.

Ideal for anyone who needs to know what to do and how in respect of the building regs, I.e. self build/DIY and small builders (who often don’t update their knowledge), and construction or design students too… a good buy, I’m pleased with it, and have have used it frequently, and everything is explained clearly in layman’s terms… Recommended

This is ok .hoping for something slightly different as the content

This pocket book sums up building regs and the guidance really well. I know some have said it’s too big, but it’s all relative when you consider how in-depth the full volumes of the Building Regs are.

Okay little book, needed more detail for my requirements but has enough to give basic guidance
