Dear Members of the PIA,
Please find the communication from CoT Building Control :
NOTICE TO ARCHITECTS AND PUBLIC WITH REGARDS TO CLOSURE OF OFFICES DURIN LEVEL 4 COVID 19 LOCKDOWN
The City is currently receiving enquiries in terms of whether or not Building Control will provide services during level 4 lockdown. Covid 19 Regulations No 43258, April 2020, Table1 part D state that;
Only the following construction activities are permitted to take place:
1 Civil Engineering for Public works projects ( including water, energy, sanitation)
2 Public works civil engineering and construction;
3 Road and Bridge projects;
4 Critical maintenance and repairs.
The city supports all of the above projects in line with the regulations in an attempt to assist in preventing the spread of Covid 19. Any other construction activities are therefore prohibited. No new building plan applications will be processed, nor building inspections conducted during level 4. The department is working hard in eliminating back-lock of building plans already in the system, all office will be closed for public until further notice.
I hope you find this in order
Keep safe together we will defeat Covid 19
