This guide is intended for construction professionals and non-professionals who perform re-pairs. It is intended both to be a reminder of the basic rules for making repairs and to make the reader aware of the need to maintain and check the building before each hurricane season.
However, the aim of this document is dependent on the reader’s experience:
• Professionals may use all information sheets as indications of what can be done quickly, reliably and without major design work. The references given at the end of the information sheets allow the recommendations to be adapted to fi t the situations professionals may encounter;
• It is recommended that non-professionals use only the information sheets related to the building envelope, with no impact on the building structure (“Public information sheet” on the cover leaf). The rules stated must be followed as closely as possible.

Ce document est la version en anglais du “Guide de bonnes pratiques pour la construction et la réhabilitation de l’habitat”, également disponible sur Pergola.
