While SANS 10400 is the foundation for all building work, there are many other national standards that are pivotal for the construction industry. For instance, if you are building a timber frame home, you will need to access SANS 10082. Anyone assembling timber roof trusses must follow the guidelines provided in SANS 2001, Part CT2.
As you will see, many of these standards cater for specialist industries within the construction niche.
