What is the purpose of a ruling made by the Minister according to the building code?

The purpose of a ruling made by the Minister according to the building code is to clarify the building standards and regulations. Such rulings are intended to provide guidance and interpretation regarding the application of the building code, ensuring that all stakeholders, including builders, architects, and building officials, have a clear understanding of the expectations and requirements laid out in the code. This clarity helps promote compliance with safety standards, ensures consistent enforcement, and ultimately contributes to the health and safety of the built environment. The ministerial rulings serve as an important tool for addressing ambiguities and evolving practices in the construction industry, thereby supporting the objective of meeting public safety and construction quality standards.
