The control office: guaranteeing the safety and conformity of architectural projects

A control office is an independent entity that manages the safety and compliance of construction projects. Its aim is to ensure that every stage of an architectural project complies with current standards, technical regulations and quality standards.

The role of the control office in an architectural project

• Checking plans : before construction begins, the control office examines the plans to ensure that they comply with town planning regulations and safety standards.
• Work inspection : during construction, it carries out regular inspections to check that the work is being carried out in accordance with the approved technical specifications and in compliance with safety standards.
• Technical advice : the control office also provides technical advice to clients and construction teams, helping to identify and resolve potential problems before they become critical.
• Certification of conformity : at the end of the project, it issues a certificate of conformity, certifying that the building complies with all legal and technical requirements, which is essential if the building is to be put into service.
