Has anyone used https://www.buildingregs4plans.co.uk/ ?

[flanagaj]

As I intend on doing a lot of the trades myself (footings, first fix carpentry, plumbing ... ) I want to fully understand building regs, so that I don't make any mistakes.  I am also keen to understand it, as I feel it will help a great deal when manging the trades I have to hire.   I came across the web site https://www.buildingregs4plans.co.uk/ and before parting with my cash, I wanted to ask whether anyone has used this site for a self-build or whether there are better options.   Ideally, I want a resource that covers each aspect of the build and the associated regs that need to be adhered to.

Thanks

It costs £150.  I'd rather have a good understanding than continually using the LABC as an information resource.

I’m sure they’re well aware of “their” duties then as that now brings them in as part of the dutyholder role.

They may do. But they are not supposed to take on the role of a professional advisor / designer where they could be liable for any adverse issues arising from such advice. LBC duties are to inspect and raise pertinent concern for others to address.
