Building classification determines construction procedures, schedules, budgets and legal risks.
Importance of Proper Building Classification
Building classification determines the entire procedure of construction work. It directly influences the schedule, budget and legal risk associated with any project.
Different Categories of Construction Work
Renovation, reconstruction, expansion, and new construction each operate under different rules. These distinct categories of construction trigger different legal obligations that must be followed.
Consequences of Misclassification
If works are incorrectly classified, authorities may determine that construction was conducted without proper authorization. This can lead to work stoppages, legal proceedings, and additional costs for the project.
