Building Supervision

Building supervision is a required government activity. Its job is to oversee construction and the maintenance and care of the built environment. Building supervision also provides general construction guidance and advice.

Careful planning leads to the desired outcome, so investing in qualified designers should be done early in the project. The lead designer is responsible for the overall planning work.

It’s good to be in contact with building supervision well before applying for a building permit. By working with a qualified designer and building supervision, you can make sure the project is moving in the right direction.
