About
The BRegs Blog was launched on 21 November 2013 to debate and share information on the Building Control (Amendment) Regulations (BCAR) that were subsequently introduced on 1st March 2014 and that now affect all buildings. The official title for this piece of secondary legislation is Statutory Instrument No. 9: 2014. We tend to refer throughout the blog to this as S.I. 9 for short.
In the absence of any official public information campaign by the Government, the BRegs Blog has become a ‘must-go-to’ open source for advice and opinion in relation to BCAR / S.I. 9 for anyone involved with the construction industry. In the first six months since implementation of the new regulations in March 2014 we received over 124,000 views. Not bad for a blog that’s about (let’s face it) Building Control.
Contributions come from a unique collaboration of economists, politicians, solicitors, journalists, civil servants, building control officers, builders, building owners, surveyors, engineers, architectural technologists and architects.
