Supervision of construction and renovation

Are you planning to build or renovate? Then someone must check that you are complying with the rules during construction. That is why you must report when you start and finish construction in good time.

Approach

This is how you report that you are starting to build or renovate, or that you have finished:

  • Go to the Environment Desk.
  • Please log in.
  • Provide the start date or end date. Do you need to hire a quality assurance specialist? If so, they can provide the start date and end date on your behalf.
    • Report start date: do this at least 2 working days before you start construction.
    • Report completion date: do this no later than 1 working day after you have finished construction and before you start using the building.

Costs

You pay for the quality assurance inspector yourself. You do not need to pay the municipal inspector.

Description

When building, you must comply with rules and agreements. Someone will check to make sure you do.

  • Sometimes it is someone from the municipality.
  • Sometimes you will need to hire someone for this yourself: a quality assurance officer. The quality assurance officer draws up a plan. This is called a quality assurance plan. It specifies how the building will be constructed and what the building will look like.

You must notify the municipality when you start construction and when you have finished.

Who inspects your building?

That depends on the structure. The structure is the building you are constructing or renovating. For small structures, the quality assurance officer carries out the inspection. For larger structures, the municipality does so.

How do you know whether your structure is small or large? Structures are classified into consequence classes. The greater the consequences if something goes wrong with the structure, the higher the consequence class. There are three consequence classes: 1, 2, and 3.

Is your building in consequence class 1? And is it a new build? Then you must hire a quality assurance assessor. Is your building in consequence class 2 or 3, or is it a renovation? Then the municipality will carry out the inspection.

Would you like to know which category your building falls into? Check the Iplo website. Or do the permit check in the Omgevingsloket.

What does the quality assurance officer or the municipality check?

  • Either you build as specified in your permit, or in the security plan.
  • whether you are using the building and grounds as specified in your permit or in your security plan
  • how you build (for example, do you build safely enough)
  • how to bring building materials (such as boards, bricks, and tools) to the construction site and tidy them away.

Are you not complying with the agreements and rules? Then the municipality or the quality assurance body may halt construction. Or you may no longer be allowed to use the building.
