Thanks, great explanation. Regarding domestic extensions the exact thing you spoke of happened to my next door neighbour, he somehow ended up with concrete tiles on a pitch that was too low, the roof started leaking a few months later and they all had to come off.
It says that RBCA will need to seek advice from RBI. What is the difference? The company is a group and thus is called RBCA while RBI is an individual? So a group will ask advice from an individual, what am I missing?
Architect "Here is my design, I think it complies for reasons x, y and z" BI "I disagree, but I'm not going to tell you why". So, we have an industry full of people whose job it is to know the regulations, and approved docs, inside out for 'checking' purposes, but when they encounter non-compliance they won't be able to say why it doesn't comply to the architect? Madness.
