Building Inspection Regulation in Antalya, Kocaeli, and Balıkesir

The Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change has restructured the assignment regions in Antalya, Kocaeli, and Balıkesir by amending the communiqué on the electronic determination of building inspection firms. With the new regulation, companies are granted the right to apply for regions outside their headquarters, and it was announced that applications will be concluded by the Ministry within a maximum of 7 business days.

According to the new regulation prepared by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, building inspection firms have been allowed to apply to the Ministry via petition if they do not wish to take on assignments outside the region where their headquarters are located. Applications will be concluded within a maximum of 7 business days, and except for exceptional cases in the communiqué, assignments will not be made from regions that the firms did not choose for those whose applications are found appropriate. The new regulation will enter into force one month after its publication date.

Kocaeli has been divided into two regions, and Balıkesir into three. In Kocaeli, Başiskele, Derince, Gölcük, İzmit, Kandıra, Karamürsel, and Kartepe form the first region; Çayırova, Darıca, Dilovası, Gebze, and Körfez form the second region. In Balıkesir, Ayvalık, Burhaniye, Edremit, Gömeç, and Havran are in the first region; Altıeylül, Karesi, Balya, Bigadiç, Dursunbey, Kepsut, Savaştepe, Sındırgı, Susurluk, and İvrindi are in the second region; while Bandırma, Erdek, Gönen, Manyas, and Marmara are in the third region.

In Antalya, a two-main-region application has been introduced for the assignment of building inspection firms. While Kaş, Demre, Finike, Elmalı, Kumluca, Kemer, and Korkuteli form part A of the first region, and Konyaaltı, Kepez, Döşemealtı, Muratpaşa, and Aksu form part B, Serik, Manavgat, İbradı, Akseki, Gündoğmuş, Alanya, and Gazipaşa were positioned in the second region. Firms operating in these provinces will be able to notify the Ministry of their preferences for assignments outside their headquarters within the framework of the determined principles.
