Building Regulations: Part L1B
Many common projects are subject to the guidance of Part L1B of the Building Regulations. These include the extension, alteration, or renovation of existing dwellings, and change of use of other types of buildings into dwellings.
Suitable for
OCDEAs and NHER Assessors are well equipped to support such projects, to identify specification options and to demonstrate how they comply with the requirements - but the process can be complex.
Why you should attend
The NHER has devised a short one-day training course for OCDEAs and NHER Plan Assessors that will give practical guidance on how to demonstrate compliance with Part L1B.
The course explains the requirements in detail, covers straightforward alterations and extensions, and then goes on to deal with complex situations, such as combinations of extension and renovation, over-glazed extensions and cases where compliance has to be demonstrated by 'trading off' carbon dioxide emissions using SAP 2005.
The course includes case studies of real projects and advice about how to approach complex projects, making best use of NHER Plan Assessor software. It runs from 10am to 4pm, and includes lunch.
Delegates will understand:
- The requirements of the Building Regulations, Part L1B (2006)
- How to assess and demonstrate the compliance of alteration and renovation projects
- How to assess and demonstrate the compliance of extension projects
- When it is appropriate to use SAP assessments to demonstrate compliance by 'trading off'
- The complexities of listed buildings and how to overcome them
- How to present Part L1B compliance assessments to Building Control
Forthcoming dates

CPD Hours: 3 hours
The course costs £250+VAT.
