    Can anyone give me concrete definition of low rise building.All this time, some people said that building with 3 stories are consider as low rise building, other said that building below 50 feets also consider as a low rise building. Is there any standard code like BS, describe about the definition of low rise building and types of a low rise building in the construction industries nowadays.

    Thanks everyone.

    in fire fighting terms, anything over 18m becomes a tall building.
    Out of reach of ladders, and fire fighting shafts and lifts become a requirement
