Dear Cristina, It looks like most of the information resources are region-specific. As here in Germany I would show DIN-the German standards, so there should be a Portugese counterpart. Lots of them are also European norms (EN), We have construction price lists related to the German market, so I am sure you have that for your country Contracts and other regulations are country-specific as well. As here we have the BBO (building regulations), the VOB (contracting terms for the award of construction performance contracts) and the HOAI (regulations for architects and engineers fees) Kind regards, Tina Dipl.Ing.

I may summarize afterwards to the list if it's of general interest. Many thanks in advance for your help!
