May is Building Safety Month
|
|
May is Building Safety Month.
This year's theme is Building Codes Save Lives. Like in
the years' past, the Development Services Department (DSD)
supports the International Code Council (ICC) with observing this
month-long campaign.
In line with Building Safety
Month, our inspectors, code enforcement officers and customer
advocate representatives participated in various activities
throughout the city, engaging the community both in the office
and at neighborhood association meetings. At the events, DSD
staff built relationships with the
community, while providing brief presentations on code
violations, permits and building safety.

In the know... BuildSA Survey
Feedback

We appreciate your feedback and
find it invaluable! As you may remember, we sent out a
survey a few weeks ago asking for your input on preferred
training methods for our new Land Development online system
(BuildSA). The feedback you provided was extremely insightful.
Our goal is to make sure we
incorporate your survey requests into our training plan, ensuring
a smooth transition for our valued customers.
Your responses will not only
help guide us in preparing the training methods that will best
fit your needs, they also provide an understanding of the
features that are most important to you.

Building Permits and Inspection
Requirements
|
Generally, warmer weather leads to
more construction of residential decks, fences, additions and
accessory sheds. In line with Building Safety Month,
be sure to know what permits and inspections are needed for your
project, and do a contractor search to ensure they are licensed.
