Eco houses

[moony]

We are currently pricing six houses up on plumbing...

No spec as such... Bit the builder has requested that it complies with building regs on water usage... And that the other company has priced using Eco bathrooms ?

The budget is tight as usual with builders... Am I missing something with this Eco bathrooms ? I know about aerators on taps and showers to restrict water useage but is there any info you lot have regarding what's needed and perhaps some links etc ?


Cheers lads

talk to buildings control, they will have a sheet of info on what you need to do without having to hit the british standards etc. And you'll get in with the inspectors early on, a foot in their door can really help on new builds and once they know you and your work they leave you alone..

My understanding is the baths hold less water now for new buildings

Part G and your water regulations book is all you need. Think flow volumes per outlet etc.

Is it a 'code' is it being built to?

 

[Howsie]

Should be 'What' instead of 'is'
