During-Construction Inspections of Buildings and Road Infrastructure

About During-Construction Inspections

In accordance with the requirements of national building law, all construction work must be subject to legally required inspections by authorized persons. In order to carry out construction in accordance with the requirements of the law, DEKRA provides investors with specialist personnel with the required licenses to carry out all necessary inspections.

Continuous quality control of construction works allows investors to quickly identify non-compliance, which saves time and money and increases the quality of works performed. DEKRA’s inspectors check the conformity of the executive documentation submitted for construction with the building project, approve the materials and carry out constant supervision over the quality and conformity of conducted works with the original construction design. In accordance with local regulations, the inspectors acknowledge receipt of the submitted works in the construction logbook.

DEKRA provides the following inspections during construction:

• Mandatory during-construction inspection of buildings as required by all building regulations
• Mandatory during-construction inspection of road infrastructure
• Voluntary during construction inspection on structural changes and/or calculation of buildings

• Acceptance of performed works, including construction, electrical and sanitary works (all executed works have to be approved by the supervision inspector)
• Inspection of fire-fighting protection of building
