Building Supervision
You should contact the building control authorities well in advance of applying for a building permit.
Careful planning will deliver the desired result, so together with a qualified planner and building control, you can ensure that your project is moving in the right direction.
- You can submit an application for a permit, order drawings, plans and maps through the e-service.
- Appointments for inspections and advice can be booked with a technical expert, a renovation adviser or directly with the inspector.
- The inspectors are most likely to be available on weekdays between 10 and 12.
- The Building Control emergency number 044 403 6104 is available on weekdays between 8 and 16.
