This information on building regulations and water regulations as well as Codes and Standards act to reduce injury, and become the driving forces that bring innovative building products to market.

• Define what types of building, plumbing, and heating projects amount to ‘Building Work’ and make these subject to control under the Building Regulations
• Specify what types of buildings are exempt from control under the Building Regulations
• Set out the notification procedures to follow when starting, carrying out, and completing building work
• Set out the ‘requirements’ with which the individual aspects of building design and construction must comply in the interests of the health and safety of building users, of energy conservation, and of access to and use of buildings.
