Each project was carried out in accordance with building regulations and statutory requirements. > An Occupancy Permit or Certificate of Final Inspection is obtained for every project for which there is a building permit. In addition, 43 projects were not subject to Certification of Plans or Building Surveyor involvement during construction.
