Direktoratet for byggkvalitet (DiBK) is an important participant in regards inspections of the building and construction industry. There are currently three forms of inspections for the industry:
— inspection with central approved companies,
— marked inspections and
— inspections for building applications.
DiBK is responsible for the implementation of the two first listed inspections, while the municipalities are implementing inspections in relation to building applications.
DiBK shall carry out an assessment on how the inspections for the building and construction industry are functioning in relation to the methodology given in the assessment instruction. The objective of the assessment is to find out what a suitable level of inspection activities is and how to increase the effect of inspections in order to achieve a higher degree of compliance with the regulations and requirements for the industry. DiBK thinks that the best suitable organisation of the assessment is a project managed by DiBK.
