Requirements to Starting a Building Construction Project

Monday, December 14th, 2009

If we want to add an extension to our present house; or we want to build a building on our properties; there are a couple of steps we have to do first in order to start a building construction project.

The minute we decide we want to do major renovations to an existing building whereby we will be altering a few things in the style and form of said structure; we have to be prepared to take on the role of laborer; financier and head of the project.

APPLICATION TO CONSTRUCT AND DEVELOP PROPERTY

Prior to commencing our building construction venture; we have to pass an application to our local government where we will state the type of building project we will be doing.

In this application, we basically have to say the reason behind the construction, show our blueprint of the design; state all materials that we will be using and ensure that the building procedure will be safe for everyone concerned; even the environment.

Depending on the site of the property; there might be zoning codes that the local authorities may require.

Once we have received the endorsement for our application to build on and improve our property; we can now proceed to acquire a certification from the local government to start construction.

CERTIFICATE TO BUILD AND CONSTRUCT

This certificate will allow us to commence on the construction project. Again, we need to show the lay-out of the design which will be assessed by a professional surveyor who may be selected by the local government.

The surveyor’s job is to check that building codes have been followed and that the minimum compulsory criteria for the standard of the structure were also followed.

We should acquaint ourselves with the different building codes as these may be based on the type of structure that we will be constructing or developing and renovating.

Once we have gotten the certification to construct; together with the approved application; this is the time that we can start on our building venture. We should remember that any alterations that we may wish to incorporate after we have secured both the approval of our application and certificate to build; we may have to undergo the same process once more.

We should likewise be ready to furnish copies of the lay-out at the various phases of our project.
