The importance of engineering supervision in residential and villa projects, which is considered the cornerstone of Saudi Building Code<\/a><\/span>It cannot be activated and reap the fruits of the implementation of the code system without actual engineering supervision and field work, and it must not be waived, otherwise the code will become ink on paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The bitter reality that the building and construction market lives from the randomness of executive works, concealed labor, cartoon villas issues and multiple claims of citizens in the courts as a result of weakness in control, engineering supervision, contracts and conformity of materials, knowing that the practices and application of codes exist in most countries of the world and we lacked the gradual application and obligation where the application of several procedures of the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing coincided with the launch of Baladi platform with the obligation to an approved contractor and insurance at the same time complicated matters and the dose was very high on the market and almost killed the patient from where it wanted to treat him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The news circulating in some local newspapers about transferring the technical examiner as an option for engineering supervision is a trend that confuses the construction market and does not meet the purpose in applying the code and is not comparable to the supervision of the engineering office, which takes upon itself the undertakings to apply the municipal requirements and code requirements in the field and provides guarantees for ten years and issues a certificate of occupancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0Engineering supervision should be a responsible follow-up and monitoring by an engineer who has experience in supervising residential buildings, has the authority to correct errors if any, monitors the work according to the approved engineering plan, and can make decisions to modify the plan if he faces implementation challenges that hinder construction, approves samples, matches materials, submits notes according to the construction stages, sends construction notices and reports to the concerned authorities, and sends requests to connect services (electricity and water).<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to achieve the desired goal of engineering supervision and expand to all regions of the Kingdom and not raise prices, I suggest linking building inspectors with consulting engineers from engineering offices, and defining visits and the scope of work on the basic elements of engineering supervision of the building's structural components, water and thermal insulation, and the entire building is under insurance coverage without exceptions for the responsibilities of the designer, supervisor and executor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *Engineering Outreach Specialist<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Reading time: <\/span> < 1<\/span> Minute<\/span><\/span> Opinions differed on the importance of engineering supervision in residential projects and villas, which is considered the cornerstone of the application of the Saudi Building Code, and it cannot be activated and reap the fruits of the application of the code system without actual engineering supervision and field work, and it must not be waived, otherwise the code will become ink on paper.
