Compliance Starts Early

Compliance should be integrated into concept design rather than treated as a final-stage check.

Early alignment with applicable SANS requirements reduces redesign risk and approval delays.

Documentation Discipline

Clear design assumptions, calculation records, drawing control, and revision tracking are essential for defensible deliverables.

Traceability improves quality assurance and supports smoother stakeholder review.

Construction Phase Support

Compliance is maintained through responsive site support, clarification of intent, and proper management of design changes.

Key Takeaways

  • Embed compliance from the concept stage.
  • Maintain traceable technical documentation.
  • Treat construction support as part of compliance management.
