Building Regulations Part L - The government has re-written Part L (thermal and energy efficiencies), and has increased both insulation levels and energy efficiency requirements substantially since 2006. It is also planned to increase performance levels further, with an aim to have "zero carbon" buildings by 2012. We have great experience in energy efficiency options in both construction and services, including ground source heat pumps, solar heating and energy, and other efficient forms................ "The Planning Supervisor is dead - long live the CDM Co-ordinator", - the function of the Planning Supervisor has radically changed. The name of the function is now CDM Co-ordinator, and the requirement of the role has been significantly extended. Call Niall Carter on 01225 330716 to discuss how we may be able to help you in your construction project................ Access Auditing and Inclusive Design - The Disabled Discrimination Act (DDA), has forced a major change. Since 2004, the Act requires all service providers to have made "reasonable adjustments" to their premises, to make them accessible to everybody, regardless of any disability. This include does not just include wheelchair users, or physical disabilities, but also due allowance has to be made for partially sighted, colour blindness and hearing impairments. Call us for advice................ The Party Wall Etc. Act 1996, is a common problem for both Developers and their neighbours. The Act is not simply limited to works proposed to a building on a boundary - it could apply to works up to 6m from your boundary. Whether you are a developer of an adjacent owner, who is concerned about works that are intended near your property, call us for advice on our Party Wall services...............
