Paju-si Expands Application of Guidelines for Designating Multiple 'On-site Verification Architect' Agents

Expansion from Large-Scale Buildings to Multi-Use Buildings
Enhanced Safety Expected

Paju City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Kim Kyung-il) announced on the 15th that it will expand the policy of designating multiple 'on-site verification proxy architects,' which had been implemented for buildings with a total floor area of 10,000㎡ or more, to include 'multi-use buildings' starting from the 20th.

The city established a policy last July to designate two proxy agents for 'large-scale buildings' with a total floor area of 10,000㎡ or more, and conducted a pilot operation to improve construction quality and prevent delays in approval for use permits.

With this expanded application, two proxy agents will also conduct on-site verification for 'multi-use buildings.'

'Multi-use buildings' refer to buildings used by many people, such as 'cultural and assembly facilities' with a total floor area of 5,000㎡ or more. The expansion of this guideline is based on the judgment that on-site verification by multiple proxy agents is essential due to the characteristics of multi-use buildings, where safety management and construction quality are even more important.

A Paju City official stated, "With this measure to increase the number of on-site verification proxy agents, we will further strengthen the safety and quality management of buildings to provide citizens with a safer building environment."
