This DfS Library aims to assist designers in improving the comprehensiveness of their DfS review process by providing examples of construction and maintenance-related design considerations, design risks, and possible design changes and design-related controls. It is noted that as part of the DfS review process, the designers will have to consult with various stakeholders to ensure that the design changes and design-related controls are practicable and effective.
