Technical Control of Buildings
A few details:
Who carries out building inspections?
In Tunisia, building inspections are carried out by technical inspection bodies approved by the Ministry of Equipment, Housing and Infrastructure. Apave Tunisie is the only office accredited by TUNAC to ISO 17020 standards for building inspection in Tunisia.
When is a technical inspection mandatory?
Technical inspection is mandatory for new constructions (buildings and civil engineering), constructions for which a declaration of works has been made, constructions for which a building permit has been applied for, and constructions for which a work permit has been applied for. Apave Tunisie can help you with all these procedures.
When can a building inspection be carried out?
Technical inspection of buildings must take place at the design stage and before work begins, by examining the design and execution files, enabling our experts to draw up the Initial Technical Inspection Report (RICT or D0). Technical inspection continues during the construction phase, with site visits right up to acceptance. Before buildings are put into service and occupied, our experts draw up the Final Technical Inspection Report or D6, to verify the state of conservation of a construction and assess the risks incurred by users.
