How to get permission to start construction?

According to current Ukrainian legislation, if a real estate object is built without permits, it is considered a self-build. That is why it is mandatory to obtain permit documentation before carrying out construction work. This is one of the most important components of the real estate construction process. If you need to get permission to start construction, PRIKHODKO & PARTNERS lawyers will help you with this.

Legislative framework of the issue

Building issues in Ukraine are regulated by many regulatory and legal acts. Among them: the Law of Ukraine "On the Basics of Urban Planning", Land, Economic, Civil Codes of Ukraine, etc.

To obtain permit documentation, it is necessary:

• Get output data.
• Develop project documentation.
• Conduct an examination (in cases provided for by current legislation).
• Approve project documentation.

Depending on the class of consequences of the object to be built, the requirements, procedure and basic list of permit documents differ. What is a consequence class? This is a description of the level of risk of danger to the health and life of people associated with this facility, social or material losses caused by the termination of operation or loss of integrity of the facility.

Thus, according to the classes of consequences, all objects can be divided into the following groups:

1. SS1 – minor consequences.
2. SS2 - medium consequences.
3. CC3 – significant consequences.

Based on this, an appropriate algorithm of actions for obtaining permission to start construction is drawn up. For example, a more complex and lengthy procedure has been introduced for objects of the SS3 group, which will prevent the occurrence of significant violations of urban planning legislation in the future and the occurrence of negative, and in some cases, dangerous consequences for both citizens and the environment.

Among the documents required to obtain a permit:

• The document is confirmation of the right to use/ownership of the land plot.
• Project documentation for construction.
• Information about the license that allows you to start construction work.

Additional documents are determined in each specific case, individually.

If, for example, the right to build the object was transferred to another customer or the general contractor was changed in the process, the project documentation is adjusted within 3 working days. The relevant information should be obtained by the State architectural and construction control body. It is this state body that must, within 10 working days, make a decision to grant a permit to start construction or refuse to issue one.
