The 12 parts of the Building regs, which I found on the Wexford County Council website and an explanation of each one.
Found an easy way of remembering some of these the rest I remembered as they were. The letter A looks like a structure and the explanation comes with this. B thinking of Burn, and you think of fire safety. E Thinking of ear and you think Sound. For F I found easier to remember as F..entilation and sounds very similar. The letter K looks like a stairs in side view. Just makes remembering them that much easier.
