Guidance from MHCLG - Building Regulations and Approved Documents index

In July 2020 the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government published Guidance titled "Building Regulations and Approved Documents index" which is an enhanced Manual to the Building Regulations designed to be clear and useful for a range of audiences, and a fully searchable PDF of all Approved Documents.

The Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety led by Dame Judith Hackitt made a number of recommendations to enhance the safety of buildings, including to reinstate an enhanced Manual to the Building Regulations (PDF, 8.94MB, 62 pages) and to publish a fully searchable PDF of all Approved Documents.

MHCLG say this new edition of the manual has been designed to be clear and useful for a range of audiences, and is split into two volumes: an accessible overview and a more detailed set of guidance.

The Manual to the Building Regulations (PDF, 8.94MB, 62 pages) and the Merged Approved Documents (PDF, 24.1MB, 1274 pages) are available from https://www.gov.uk/guidance/building-regulations-and-approved-documents-index
