IS YOUR ROOF LEGALLY COMPLIANT? Unless a roof is constructed in accordance with the ‘deemed-to-satisfy’ rules of the National Building Regulations, a rationally designed roof by an engineer is needed for a roof to be legally compliant. The design will be considered a rational design and by law (NBR Regulation A19), it must be signed off by the registered professional engineer who is responsible for the design and who was duly appointed by the owner. For more information about acquiring an A19 certificate for your roof or to find an ITC-SA-accredited Inspector member near you, visit www.itc-sa.org. BUILD WITH THE BEST.
