Plan drawings & staircases
« on: March 11, 2008, 02:26:56 PM »
I have huge problems interpreting whether a staircase is going up or down on a plan drawing and whether there is a landing or handrail.  Does anybody have basic information on this that I can use to help me?  Also, does anybody have a tabulated form of the different rules that apply in relation to protecting staircases according to how many many you have and how many floors you have in a building.

All my responses only apply to England and Wales and they are an overview of the subject, hopefully it will point you in the right direction and always treat with caution.

Double posting, double the help but still none the wiser

SidM I am afraid it is not double the help its double the confusion and complicates the situation.  Go back to the other thread and continue the discussion there.
