Construction Regulations and Responsibilities

You are legally forbidden from being your own inspector on a construction site.

It does not matter if you have every license in the book, the Site Manager and the Investor

Supervision Inspector must be different people to stop you from cutting corners. Every single move

gets recorded in the Construction Log. Think of this document as the black box

of your house. If a wall falls down, the authorities look there first.

The laws are shifting though. You can now build a seventy-square-meter house just by notifying

the office, skipping the full permit. Just do not mess up the paperwork,

or that dream home becomes a legal nightmare.
