These Functional Requirements do not and will not apply to create any policy liability for any remedial works carried out by the contractor or otherwise, nor to any materials used in those remedial works.  \n2. The guidance provided in this Section, is guidance that provides a suggested solution to meeting the Functional Requirements. If an alternative solution is selected, then this must still meet the Functional Requirements.  \n3. Means of escape, passive and active systems are not covered by the Warranty unless specifically identified in the appropriate ‘Building Part’ section.  \nWorkmanship  \n1. A flat roof membrane manufacturer’s approved installer must be used for all roof terrace coverings.  \n2. Roof terrace membranes will be required to be weather and waterproof and, tested at completion where stipulated in the guidance.  \n3. All workmanship must be within the tolerance requirements set out in this Technical Manual.  \n4. All work is to be carried out by a technically competent person in a workmanlike manner.  \n5. Concreting shall not take place during cold weather periods where the working temperature is below 2°Cor where ground conditions are frozen.  \nMaterials  \n1. All materials should be stored, installed and protected correctly in a manner that will not cause damage or deterioration of the product.  \n2. All materials, products and building systems shall be appropriately tested and approved for their intended purpose.  \n3. All load bearing structural elements providing support to the Home will have a service life of not less than 60 years, unless specifically agreed otherwise with us. All other parts of the Home will have a lesser durability and need planned maintenance, repair or replacement during that reduced period.  \n4. Whilst there is and can be no Policy responsibility and/or liability for any roof covering, window/ door or‘Decorative external cladding’(i.e. Cladding which is decorative only and the substrate wall provides the main weather proof barrier) to achieve a performance service life of 60 years or less, such elements shall be designed and constructed so they have an intended service life of not less than where stipulated within this Manual.  \n5. Timber should be adequately treated or finished to resist insect attacks and be suitable for the position used within the structure. All timber treatment should be in accordance with relevant British standards and Codes of Practice.  \n6. Timber used in the building to provide support to the structure must be appropriately seasoned to prevent excessive shrinkage and movement.  \n7. All materials should be suitable for the relative exposure of the building in accordance with the relevant British Standards.  \nDesign  \n1. For Warranty purposes, flat cold deck balcony terrace roofs are not acceptable.  \n2. Roof terrace and Balcony structures and coverings, shall be designed and constructed so that they:  \na. Are structurally sound;  \nb. Satisfactorily resist the passage of moisture due to rain and snow to the inside of the building, and to materials which might be adversely affected by such moisture;  \nc. Have an adequate thermal performance – where applicable;  \nd. Adequately discharge rainwater to a suitable drainage system.  \n3. In addition to point 1d: shall, unless specifically agreed otherwise with the Warranty provider, comply with the requirements of BS 6229 and be designed to have a minimum finished fall of 1 in 80.  \n4. Roof Terraces and Balconies must have appropriate guarding meeting the requirements of Building Regulations.  \n5. The following additional elements shall be supported by structural calculations designed by an Engineer:  \na. Structural elements outside the parameters of Building Regulations.  \nb.
