Companies carrying out building work today are under pressure to comply with local regulations regarding structural integrity and safety. It is particularly important for them to be able to insure themselves again future risk of defects. Though ten-year insurance policies are generally available, insurance companies are demanding that independent technical controls are carried out to formally measure risk and validate warranties.
Today's property market is changing. Buildings are getting bigger, and their design is often complex. The resulting increase in Health & Safety and Environmental regulations, which get stricter and more sophisticated, is a real challenge for real estate investors. They need to make sure that all their building assets comply with these regulations, in order for their transactions to be carried out smoothly and without problems - within the right timing, and with property being valued at the right price.
The construction process of buildings and facilities is generally recognized as high risk, with the potential for serious accidents. A complex environment exists on any site with a variety of different contractors working at the same time. There is potential risk on several levels. To protect all those working onsite, an awareness of the risks and possible severity must be understood. Importantly, this risk must be proactively managed in order to avoid accidents.
