Ministry of Housing and Building to increase inspections

[Dolores]

President Luis Abinader explained that the increased supervision rates of the Ministry of Housing and Building (Mived) will fund enhanced construction inspections on behalf of the government.

He responded to a journalist question about the increases in the rates made during the Monday, 2 June 2025 press conference.

“We have to better supervise all structures and simply to do that we are increasing the regular rates,” he said. He said the rates for supervision had been very minimal and had not been updated in decades.

Will the increase of rates bring about an increase of nonconformance penalties? Doubt it! Maybe it will bring an increase of favors?

I have seen a few signs where they have suspended construction, Sometimes they are up for months and other times a week or two. I asked a friend who is both an engineer and architect. He said rarely is it for faulty construction, normal for not paying some fee.
