Opis

A highly practical and time-saving presentation of the Building Regulations relating to buildings used for public assembly or residential purposes (other than houses and flats), such as theatres, sports stadia, hotels, prisons and halls of residence. It is written in the same accessible format as the author's established companion books covering houses and flats, and shops, offices and factories.  Each chapter forms a self-contained unit covering all the Regulation requirements applicable to a particular part of a building. Also included is a digest of published standards, guides and technical information as well as reviews of the new Eurocodes currently being introduced.
