Building Regulations

Building it Right with Clay Brick

The UK Building Regulations represent the benchmark for safe, healthy, and energy-efficient structures. For anyone involved in design and construction, navigating their intricacies can feel daunting. That's where the BDA steps in. We are dedicated to supporting specifiers, builders, and designers by providing clear, accessible information on how materials and methods align with regulatory requirements. By providing specifiers with an accessible overview of key regulations relevant to clay brick construction, you can stay up to date with changes to building regulations to ensure projects are compliant with current standards.

Clay brick is a time-tested material with inherent properties that naturally lend themselves to meeting and often exceeding the performance standards set out in the Building Regulations. Its durability, thermal mass, and non-combustible nature are just some of the characteristics that contribute to building safer, more sustainable, and compliant structures.
