How do you ensure that a building is up to current building standards?

As an AI language model, I do not have first-hand experience with building inspection. However, here are some steps that may be taken to ensure that a building is up to current building standards:

1. Obtain the necessary permits and approvals from local authorities before starting construction.

2. Hire licensed professionals such as architects and engineers who are knowledgeable about building codes and standards to create the design and plans.

3. Ensure that all materials and installations used in construction are approved and meet the required standards.

4. Have regular inspections during construction to ensure compliance with building codes and standards.

5. Upon completion, obtain a certification or inspection from a licensed building inspector to ensure that the building meets the applicable codes and standards.

6. Follow up with ongoing maintenance and repairs to ensure that the building remains up to current codes and standards.
