The approach is intended to help you stay in control, with the goal of delivering a high-quality result that is completed on time and within budget. This new edition updates guidance on meeting the latest Building Regulations and Planning requirements, and also covers CAD design, energy efficiency, underfloor heating, bi-folds, liquid screeds, woodburning stoves and renewable energy.
