Dongjak-gu Offers Free Architect Consultation Service...Consultations Available Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 2 to 5 PM at the District Office Architecture Department

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Changwoo Lee) will operate a "Free Architect Consultation Service" until December to help residents better understand the complex building administration and provide convenient civil service.

Since 2012, the district has been offering this free service in cooperation with the "Dongjak Architects Association," allowing residents to receive consultations from professional architects who are well acquainted with local building conditions.

By sharing civil complaint processing between architects and administrative officers, the service ensures efficient work handling and prompt civil service. Last year, 178 people used the service, and the usage rate has been increasing annually.

The service operates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. on weekdays, and residents can visit the district office's Architecture Division.

With the voluntary contributions of 12 local architects, consultations are available on ▲ building permits and use (designation) changes and other building administrative procedures ▲ building laws and related legal matters ▲ damage consultations and disputes related to construction sites ▲ overall architectural activities such as design, supervision, and construction.

Visits are possible without a separate reservation.

For more details, contact the Architecture Division at ☎820-9827.

Im Changseop, head of the Architecture Division, said, "We hope this consultation service will help residents resolve their architectural questions that they find difficult in daily life," and added, "We will continue to do our best to provide user-centered customized building administrative services."

Since last year, the district has been implementing a Chief Architect system, where architectural experts participate from the planning and conceptual stages of public building projects to create harmonious urban spaces and improve the aesthetics and functionality of public buildings.
