Roof Assembly Compliance Review

Use this page to test your understanding before applying the course concepts in the calculator or on a live project.

Scenario Assessment

A roof specification lists insulation, but the drawing does not show air gaps or continuity. Explain how you would review it.

Write your answer in your own notes, then compare it to the course lessons, reference points and worked examples.

1. How would you apply "Roof Scope" on a real project?

Identify all roof elements that form part of the envelope.

2. How would you apply "Insulation Continuity" on a real project?

Recognise installation details that can reduce roof performance.

3. How would you apply "Reflective and Bulk Insulation" on a real project?

Understand what evidence is needed for roof insulation claims.

4. What should you do when a project input is uncertain or unsupported?

Flag the missing evidence, use a conservative assumption where appropriate, and avoid claiming compliance until the information is confirmed.

5. What should every final compliance note make clear?

It should show what was checked, which evidence supports the inputs, what assumptions were made, and which SANS 10400-XA reference points apply.
