I agree with the maintaince issue of building, any planning is a continues process, in building designing and planning , engineers doing execution of construction , contractor doing construction have least respect . too much emphasis given to b.arch . architect designer over to others is a serious concern.amie should protect survival of degree diploma engineers and they shouldn't be forced to work under b.arch person who has not studied mathematics, mechanics and other subjects near to thier level..diploma engineers should be allowed to get valuer license. Unfortunately engineers are not aware of disastrous future ahead for them in our country. They don't get finance to be a developer,builder as first choice over others.so we need major policy changes.

Subject: [E-CONF] RERA Act (The Real Estate Regulation and Development Act 2016) and its implications
Dear Sefians,
I agree completely with the introductory remarks SEFI Admin Ms. Alpa Sheth has made on the subject of structural defects.
The suggestion to have peer review of structural design and drawings as mandatory is a good one as it avoids any mistake that could be made by the original designer in his/her structural analysis, assumptions, detail design and drawings. The cost of the peer review which is very small in the overall cost, has to be borne by the property developer/contractor in the interest of all.
Regarding insurance for structural consultants to cover professional indemnity, it is a costly business when one considers the low consultation fee the structural consultant gets these days.
As I said earlier in the other posting on RERA, the term 'Structural Defects' in RERA rules needs to be clearly defined as the common man has no understanding or different meanings of it.
In my opinion, this term should be restricted to displacement and cracking of structural elements like Slabs, Beams, Columns, Joints and Foundation beyond a permissible limit which could be spelt out in RERA rules. It should not include damages to non-structural elements like doors, windows, brick panel walls.
It is also the responsibility of the residents of the buildings in not misusing the building by way of making structural alterations, over loading the floors with heavy storage materials. The residents should also maintain the buildings properly and regularly, particularly with the leakage of roofs and drain pipes.
If the above matter is not properly defined in RERA rules, there would be unnecessary litigation with the property developer and the structural engineer.
With best wishes,
