The Saudi Standards, Metrology, and Quality Organization (Saso) has introduced draft <\/strong>regulations on building code violations<\/strong>, Okaz<\/a> reported yesterday. The document offers a framework to categorize breaches of the code and the remedies each demands.<\/p>\n

Any violations to the building code would require a removal or correction<\/strong>, according to regulation. Folks found to have violated the building code will need to both correct whatever they did wrong and pay a fine. Minor violations need to be addressed within 30-60 days and construction work on an in-progress project will be suspended if you don\u2019t take action within that period. <\/p>\n

Construction work is suspended immediately if the violation threatens human health or <\/strong>public safety<\/strong>, the regs propose. Builders would have five days to address the problem or the case would be sent to a committee for review. Don\u2019t address the problem yourself? The municipality would be allowed to step in and fix it for you \u2014 at your expense. <\/p>\n

How penalties are set:<\/strong> A committee would determine penalties depending on the severity of the violation, taking into account the risk pose to health, property, and public safety. Other variables in determining penalties will be the size, type, cost of construction, importance of the site, and where it is located.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
