#PerfectRoof Step 3: Meet the Regulations

As building performance standards become more complicated, staying up to date with recent regulations becomes a full time job, not to mention the new ones such as BB93 on Acoustic Design of Schools. Lack of awareness of any changes and how they affect roofing components, can lead to specifying the wrong thing.

#PerfectRoof Step 3: Ensure you meet all the Statutory Requirements

Step 3

If you’re relying on manufacturers to design your roof, they may not have enough technical expertise and experience to keep up to date with changes in regulations for the building types you work with. If their service stops when the project is tendered or hands over to a third party, there may be gaps in knowledge that you won’t know about until the building inspector starts poking about on site.

Don’t run the risk of remedial works to get your roof signed off. Use an independent design service  for full technical support throughout the design process and on site. Then even if the regulations change, you’ll be protected
