Document background
The Building Risk Assessment Report is a crucial document required by Saudi Arabian authorities to ensure building safety and regulatory compliance. It is typically prepared when constructing new buildings, renovating existing structures, changing building use, or as part of periodic safety reviews. The report must comply with the Saudi Building Code (SBC), Civil Defense requirements, and various municipal regulations. It includes comprehensive evaluations of structural integrity, fire safety systems, environmental hazards, and occupational safety measures. The document serves multiple purposes: demonstrating regulatory compliance, identifying potential risks, recommending mitigation measures, and providing a baseline for insurance and liability purposes. It is particularly important in Saudi Arabia due to the kingdom's strict building safety requirements and the need to account for specific environmental and cultural considerations in building safety assessments.
