Fire & Safety norms providing for changes in way buildings are constructed have undergone sea change in its materials used for construction; the vertical heights and also its usages and demands. The rules need to be formalised considering these changes and keeping the priority of safety of people & properties. New technologies must be adopted and replace some archaic rules.
