What is Independent Technical Supervision (ITS) in Colombia?
Independent Technical Supervision ITS in Colombia is a regulated process that guarantees the quality and safety of large-scale buildings. According to Law 400 of 1997 and its amendment by Law 1796 of 2016, this type of supervision is mandatory for constructions with an area equal to or greater than 2,000 m² or those involving significant structural interventions.
The Independent Technical Supervision STI is carried out in accordance with the guidelines of the NSR-10 regulation and covers the exhaustive verification of the foundation, structure and non-structural elements of a building. This process ensures that constructions meet the highest safety and quality standards, protecting both developers and future users of the buildings.
