Guidance Documents (All)

This section provides access to MCRMA’s current range of Guidance Documents, designed to address some of the most frequently asked questions relating to building envelope systems and their components. These publications offer practical, up-to-date information to support safe, compliant, and effective design and construction across the metal roofing and cladding industry.

Our Guidance Documents cover a wide range of key topics, including:

• Working at height
• CE marking
• Installation of purlins and side rails
• CDM regulations
• Non-fragility of roofing assemblies

These documents reflect MCRMA’s ongoing commitment to promoting best practice and supporting professionals with authoritative, easy-to-understand resources.

At the bottom of this page, you will also find access to our archived Technical Design Guides, which were published between 1991 and 2010. While these earlier documents have since been superseded by our Guidance Documents, they remain a valuable reference particularly for specifiers seeking information on metal building envelope specifications from the past 25 years.
