"As the first step, buildings that have violated approved plans will be issued notice to stop work forthwith," said a senior CMDA official. If violations are detected in buildings that were issued completion certificates in the last one year, the officials responsible for clearing the project would be taken to task, he said.

The inspection teams will also look for major deviations in structural design. "Since our officials are not technically qualified to ascertain structural strength of buildings, we will seek the opinion of respective structural engineers if deviations from the drawings are detected," he said.

This is the first time that CMDA is getting involved in inspection of buildings midway through the construction. Hitherto, the agency used to inspect buildings only at the time of issuing completion certificates.
