The units must be strong, durable Opening remarks Opening remarks For any new build development it is essential to conduct a thorough site investigation to collect and record all the necessary data that will be needed, or will help in the design and construction processes of the proposed work, including anything on adjacent sites that may affect the proposed works or, conversely, anything appertaining to the pro­ posed works that may affect an adjacent site and so should also be recorded. We are immensely grateful to Roger for his years of service and his skill and dedication in making the Building Construction Handbook as successful as it has been. Bulk density This is the mass per unit volume, which includes mass of air or water in the voids and is essential information required for the design of retaining structures where the weight of the retained earth is an important factor. Person trained (first aider) in first aid at work holding an HSE recognised FAW qualification or an emergency first aid at work EFAW qualification (see also Table 3.Since then, Roger has been involved in revising no less than eight further editions, each time meticulously adding new sections on techno­ logical developments, new building regulations, updates to standards and filling in gaps in the book to make the Handbook the most comprehensive and up to date construction book on the market.
