Although 20 years have elapsed since the collapse of Sampoong department store collapse, a series of building collapse disasters, such as the Mauna Ocean Resort collapse, a blaze in a Sanatorium in Jangseong, and the vent grate collapse in Pangyo, has still happened. The current construction inspection and supervision system does not control safety measures sufficiently. Experts’ groups have pointed out that a reform for the construction inspection system is required to prevent building collapses and to promote a building structural safety. The prevailing low wage rates in the construction inspection system with a vague regulation from a relating Act seem to led to less-skilled inspectors and unsafe buildings. Recently, regulators have discussed to change charging standards on construction inspections and supervision to solve widespread low wage problems. However, few studies have been discussed the problem of low supervision charging standards.

  Thus, this study aims to verify limitations of the construction inspection and supervision system, to examine alternative construction charging methods, and to review a range of the construction inspection and supervision.
