Assessment of the design documentation of buildings
Are you a builder or designer? Leave nothing to chance and make sure you meet the statutory requirements for the assessment of your building’s design documentation in the building permit procedure regarding occupational health and safety requirements to avoid unnecessary delays in the building permit procedure.
We will issue an Expert Opinion on the design documentation you submit. An expert opinion on the fulfilment of occupational health and safety requirements is one of the opinions of relevant bodies required in building permit procedures.
When is an assessment of design documentation necessary?
A building’s design documentation must be assessed for meeting occupational health and safety requirements in all building permit procedures for buildings that will serve the fulfilment of tasks of an employer or a self-employed person.
How is design documentation assessed?
Our inspectors review the design documentation that you submit and prepare an Expert Opinion. If they find any shortcomings, they will notify the design organisation and instruct them to remedy them.
If the non-conformities and shortcomings identified in an Expert Opinion on assessed design documentation do not prevent the issuing of a building permit with respect to the safety requirements of the building and technical equipment, the builder must demonstrate that they are remedied before final approval of the building.
Has the building authority asked you to submit an Expert Opinion on your design documentation?
We can offer solutions even for cases like these with a fast-track procedure for the assessment whereby, if the documentation is in order and contains no shortcomings, an expert opinion can be issued in five or even two days. An additional fee is charged for fast-track procedures in accordance with our general terms and conditions.
