- This is to be considered as a guidance document only. Design practitioners must validate all aspects of the design and not reference the Pattern Book in their design declarations or design certifications.
- The details and wall typologies have been generated to suit the reclad of apartments or class 2 buildings as defined by the National Construction Code, but can also be used for the reclad of other types of buildings.
