Municipality Continues Field Inspections on Buildings Under Construction as Part of 'Build, Don't Destroy' Campaign

Kuwait Municipality confirmed today, Sunday, the continuation of its field inspection campaigns under the “Build, Don’t Destroy” initiative, which monitors violations of the safety regulations across the six governorates to ensure compliance with relevant regulations, systems, and permits.

Mohammed Al-Azmi, head of the Safety Department’s inspection team in the Ahmadi Governorate, said in a press statement, on the sidelines of the team’s inspection in the Fintas area, that the municipality periodically monitors compliance with safety requirements at construction sites to encourage project owners and contractors to adhere to them.

Al-Azmi added that the municipality is keen on enforcing safety conditions to safeguard the lives of workers and residents in those areas, and therefore stresses the proper disposal of rubble in designated containers and the prompt cleaning of construction sites.

He noted that the inspection team issued four warnings today during its field campaign for the presence of rubble in front of several houses, which obstructed traffic, as well as for failing to maintain the cleanliness of roads and public facilities.

Al-Azmi explained that the “Build, Don’t Destroy” campaign is part of Kuwait Municipality’s efforts to strengthen oversight, curb violations, and consolidate a culture of preserving the environment and public property.

He called on plot owners and homeowners under construction to follow the municipality’s official accounts to benefit from awareness messages and guidelines that will be issued periodically, and to contact the municipality to inquire about any regulatory requirements, thereby facilitating their procedures and ensuring compliance with systems and regulations.
