The origins of this guide lie in the Future of Building Control Consultation 2008, in which the government recognised the need to do more to help the public, industry and Building Control Bodies to better understand and comply with the Building Regulations. The view proposed was that additional guidance in the form of ‘Project Guides’ was needed to complement the Approved Documents.
In response, in June 2008 the Construction Products Association took the initiative and began researching how these guides might become a reality, starting with this Loft Conversion Project Guide.
