Understanding fully the Building Regulations | Specialist training in the Glass and Glazing industry on a national scale

Overview

Course summary:

This course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of all Building Regulations relevant to the replacement of domestic doors and windows in England/Wales.

What is it about?

Since 2002, it has been necessary for all replacement windows & doors in England and Wales to comply with the applicable building regulations. Despite the large amounts of technical guidance already provided by FENSA as well as the Government and some local authorities, it is still clear that there are some installers (particularly those who are newer to the industry) who would appreciate further advice on the subject. This is why we have developed our 'Understanding Fully the Building Regulations' course as it is an opportunity for any installers who are unclear on any aspect of the relevant regulations to have their questions answered once and for all.

Who is it aimed at?

Companies who feel that their knowledge of the Building Regulations requires refreshing or who are still unsure on some aspects.

Course objectives:

To provide a comprehensive understanding of Parts L1 and N, the fundamental aspects of the building regulations as applicable to domestic installation work.

To clarify the requirement to make matters no worse in respect of the other building regulations.

To demonstrate the above utilising practical examples and ensure that full understanding and interpretation is achieved.
