The brochure fully explains this fundamental technical advantage along with sections outlining end-user benefits, speed of installation, key suppliers. Are your structural waterproofing designs based on a risk assessment produced by a qualified specialist? Have you appointed a waterproofing specialist at an early stage of the design? If not then a building insurance company is unlikely to issue you with a warranty. BS 8102: 2009 and NHBC standards now include recommendations that any waterproofing system designs are based upon an appropriate risk assessment and produced by someone suitably qualified. INK Technical Services helps housebuilders and architects meet the standards’ requirements so insurance companies are satisfied that a robust waterproofing system is in place. 26 RMIG appears on The House That 100k Built RMIG has helped an ambitious couple on BBC TWO show The House That 100k Built to successfully build their dream home in Burnley.
