Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
No construction project can proceed without the right planning permissions, building permits and regulatory approvals. Delays in obtaining approvals, conditions that were not anticipated or failures to comply with building codes can halt work, require costly redesign and expose owners and contractors to enforcement and liability.
This Building Codes, Permits and Regulatory Approvals training course explains how regulatory frameworks for construction work and how to manage the approvals process efficiently. Participants learn about the purposes of building codes, the main technical requirements for structure, fire, accessibility and energy, the planning and permit process, working with authorities and inspectors, managing conditions and inspections, and achieving completion certificates.
The course takes an international perspective, giving participants principles they can apply in different jurisdictions.
