KREB to Prevent Inadequate Building Inspections and Strengthen Local Governments’ Practical Capabilities

[Financial News] The Korea Real Estate Board (KREB) will train local-government officials and inspection-agency staff on relevant laws, management plans and system use to improve the quality of building management and inspection work.
KREB said on the 4th that it jointly conducted training for officials involved in the building management system with the Korea Authority of Land & Infrastructure Safety from the 31st of last month to the 4th of this month in major regions, including Seoul, Daejeon and Daegu.
The training was intended for officials responsible for the building management system at local governments nationwide, representatives of inspection agencies and those who prepare building management plans. It focused on improving participants’ understanding of the system and strengthening their practical ability to apply it to actual management, supervision and inspection work.
The main topics included the Building Management Act, the building management plan system, how to use the Building Life-Cycle History Management System, the building management inspection system and on-site inspection practices.
The program was designed primarily around reviewing management plans, searching the system and carrying out inspections so that local-government officials in charge of permits and approvals and inspection-agency staff could use the training immediately in the field.
KREB was designated as the Building Management Support Center in May 2020 under Article 39 of the Building Management Act. Since then, it has supported the implementation of the building management system, provided training for relevant officials and reviewed the appropriateness of building management plans.
Kim Nam-sung, head of KREB’s Housing Supply Support Division, said, "I hope this training will improve participants’ understanding of the system and practical capabilities and help them perform their duties more efficiently in the field. We will continue to strengthen cooperation with related organizations, improve the quality of building management and prevent inadequate inspections, thereby contributing to public safety."
