Approved Document M has been divided into two volumes. ADM volume 1 covers dwellings and this volume - ADM volume 2 - covers buildings other than dwellings. This document provides guidance on the ease of access to, and use of, buildings other than dwellings, including facilities for disabled visitors or occupants. Guidance on the use of ramps and steps is covered to provide ease of access, with information including safe degrees of pitch and dimensions when building a wheelchair accessible facility.
