HIA’s Building Services team is dedicated to helping our members make fast sense of NCC 2022’s most significant changes to regulations. 

Waterproofing is one area where the compliance options have changed. It’s important you’re informed before you make crucial decisions that will impact your project. Our experts are here to help guide you through the process and break down the most important information into easy-to-understand language.
