Building Renovations

To fully deliver on the objectives outlined in renovation plan, renovations will have to comply with the relevant building regulations and the products will have to meet the performance requirements defined by their specific applications. Ensuring the quality and compliance of renovation works with these rules and with producer guidelines is essential, to meet both the expected level of safety and of energy performance.

When it comes to fire safety, the MohauMolutsi Civil Works (Pty) Ltd encourages Member States to consider the following elements when transposing the directive within their own legislation:

• The quality of the electrical and gas installation and appliances;
• The presence of smoke detection mechanisms;
• The quality of escape routes and compartmentation; and
• The possibility of sprinklers in high-rise/high-risk buildings or for vulnerable occupants.
