The General Construction, Electrical, and Mechanical Bureaus are responsible for:
- Review of residential and commercial building plans before a permit is issued
- Inspection of residential and commercial buildings to evaluate code compliance and safety
- Oversight of field operations and code enforcement in political subdivisions in New Mexico
- Examination and certification of all local government building inspectors
- Enforcement of applicable state and national building and safety codes, the Construction Industries Licensing Act, and the CID Administrative Code
