To improve the quality of construction works and construction supervision, the government has adopted a new law: the Construction Quality Assurance Act. This law will come into effect gradually from July 1, 2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

Increased build quality<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Residents of rental or owner-occupied homes and users of commercial properties benefit from high-quality buildings. Good insulation, fire safety and the use of high-quality building materials ensure a safer home and lower energy consumption. To get there Certainly<\/strong> To ensure that the applicable quality requirements are followed, more supervision of construction is needed. This is the idea behind the introduction of the Quality Assurance Act.<\/p>\r\n

Quality assurance<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The law changes the way in which testing and control of the quality of construction projects takes place. The Building Decree and the quality requirements that must be applied remain the same. However, from now on assessment will take place by independent inspectors and they use a tool<\/em> from the government. The new law ensures that projects take more time in the initial phase, but ultimately helps to prevent construction errors, saving time and costs.<\/p>\r\n

Your liability as a contractor<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The Quality Assurance Act expands the liability of contractors and thus strengthens the position of clients. Contractors will be held responsible for the consequences of any self-inflicted fault or defect in the construction work. The client can oblige the contractor to correct the error, even if an error is only discovered years later. The contractor must also inform the client about the extent to which he has insured himself against risks.<\/p>\r\n
