What Is A Structural Safety Certificate And Why Is It Important?
While buyers are generally preoccupied with the finer points of their home’s interior design, the strength of the materials used to construct the structure is frequently overlooked. The majority of those who invest in high-rise buildings are uninformed of the construction quality of residential and commercial projects. Another reason why “premium construction quality” has become a distinctive selling point for real estate developers, particularly in the national capital region, is because of this.
What Is A Structural Safety Certificate?
The structural safety certificate certifies that the building’s structural designs, as submitted for approval, meet the safety criteria for all natural calamities, such as earthquakes and cyclones, as specified in Part-6 (Structural Design) of the National Building Code of India, 2005. The certificate is produced by structural engineers, and it is normally issued by the municipal administration after it has been reviewed by experts. The certificate also specifies that the construction was designed following a thorough soil test and that it is safe to use. Property owners in some states are also required to produce a structural safety certificate at the time of registration.
Government Initiatives For Structural Safety
Inclusion of amending of building byelaws to ensure structural safety as a mandatory reform. ( Uttar Pradesh govt. )
The Delhi government made a structural safety certificate a requirement for property registration in 2011.
Similarly, in Gujarat, structural safety audits for ancient structures were made mandatory in 2014.
There were 10,000 buildings that lacked a structural safety certificate as of 2018. In fact, in June 2019, following four building collapse accidents in a year, the structural safety certificate was made necessary for buildings older than 30 years in Vadodara.
Chandigarh, on the other hand, is setting an example for all metro cities that are rushing to legalize unregistered colonies without assuring infrastructure stability. For the benefit of the regularization scheme, the UT administration has made a structural safety certificate from a certified empaneled structural engineer registered with it necessary.
