In line with modern drafting requirements for documents embodied in the Construction Industry Development Board’s Standard for Uniformity in Construction Procurement, SABS has published the SANS 1921 series of standards for construction and management requirements for works contracts and most of the SANS 2001 series of technical standards for construction works.
