In recent months, many information and news have circulated related to the "reconciliation" law and the effect of this law on a large number of citizens, as well as companies operating in the field of construction and buildings, and most of the major companies working in the construction and building sector abide by all legal standards for construction, as well as safety and protection factors.

But random construction is more than the law has been subjected to in order to organize and protect. The law of reconciliation and settlement of legal violations related to construction on state land is required.

And also the law has been rejecting buildings that violate safety and security requirements and pose a threat to the lives of citizens. An application for a settlement and the decision shall be based on the visit and report of the advisory committee.

The advisory committee makes a detailed report on the thickness of the concrete pillars, the load distribution, studies all building plans, examines the building specifications for comparison, and answers the most important question:

"Is the building compatible and suitable for the needs on ‎which the building's license is given?”

The advantages of the reconciliation law for the construction sector and building: -

• The main objective of the law is to protect life and property

• Evaluating and classifying buildings throughout the Arab Republic of Egypt during the last 20 years

• Identifying buildings that are dangerous and unsafe for residents to deal with

• Knowing whether the building can be restored and repaired or demolished, whether in whole or in part.

Cons of the Reconciliation Law for the Construction and Building Sector: -

• The short period of reconciliation and submission of requests, especially with the increasing numbers of registration.

• Increased pressure on advisory committees may lead to routine inspection and failure to provide a complete report.

• The collapse of one building that was evaluated and settled according to the law after reconciliation, the law may lose its relevance.

The most important situations in which reconciliation is prohibited: -

• Exceeding the building of floors in height, in violation of civil aviation decisions.

• Not submitting a request to reconcile construction conditions on state-owned lands.

• Building violation of the construction requirement on lands under the protection of the Antiquities Authority

• Violation of construction requirements for building on lands that are protected by beaches and the Nile.

• Buildings violating structural safety.

• Buildings in violation of the decisions of the Ministry of Defense.

Safety tests for buildings and constructions: -

Buildings higher than 6 floors are tested through

• Examine the general structure of the building.

• The quality of concrete used in building and construction

• The ability of concrete to bear

“Soil is one among the foremost important factors affecting building safety. It may be that all the components of the building and construction process conform to specifications accurately.

In terms of concrete bearing capacity, mixing ratios, and appropriate height, but ... the building may nonetheless pose a danger due to the nature of the soil and the ground on which the building is being constructed.

Engineers must take into account the nature of the soil and treat it before embarking on building and construction, regardless of money, time, or effort that costs to preserve the security and safety of the building and the lives of citizens.

In the end, the reconciliation law, despite the objection of some citizens to it because of the cost and the sums that must be paid, starting from the registration fees and up to the amount that is estimated ... However, the importance of inventorying, recording and evaluating buildings, protecting citizens and preserving lives and property is one of the most important advantages of the law.

The current situation also informs us that building and construction by major companies that have a prominent name and history in the engineering community is the most appropriate choice for real estate investment and the preservation of money and lives.
