The Building Safety Act outlines the critical role of proficiency in carrying out tasks, particularly underlining the need for waterproofing design specialists during any design stages that involve waterproofing. It is recommended that such specialists be engaged early in the design process to collaborate effectively with other professionals, such as engineers, and ensure the seamless incorporation of the waterproofing system.
