Permission to perform construction works
A permit to perform construction works is a document that grants the right to start construction, reconstruction, or other works on a facility if a permitting procedure is required for such a facility by law. Without proper preparation of construction documents, the developer may face refusal to commission the facility, fines, suspension of works, or problems with further registration of ownership rights.
The need for legal assistance arises when it is necessary to determine which document is required for a specific facility: a notice of commencement of construction works or a permit to perform construction works. Legal support is also important if a refusal has already been received, or if there are questions regarding land, urban planning conditions, project documentation, or the facility’s compliance with construction legislation requirements.
The lawyers of “Prikhodko & Partners” help complete the procedure for obtaining a permit to perform construction works, check documents, prepare the application, minimize the risk of refusal, and support the client until a practical result is achieved.

Why You Should Contact an Attorney for Obtaining a Permit to Perform Construction Works
Obtaining a construction permit involves a large number of documents and technical nuances. Errors in the application, inconsistencies in document data, problems with the designated purpose of the land plot, or an incomplete document package may become grounds for refusal.
An attorney helps not only prepare documents, but also assess the legal safety of the entire project. This is especially important if construction is planned for a commercial facility, an apartment building, reconstruction, a facility with a complex land history, or in cases where a refusal has already been received.
Legal support helps minimize risks, properly complete the permitting procedure, and avoid further problems with commissioning the facility.

- Strategy determination. A course of action is developed to obtain the permit or eliminate the reasons for refusal.
- Document preparation. A document package, applications, and supporting materials are prepared.
- Legal support. The lawyer supports the submission, communication with authorities, and control of the result.

When is a construction permit required?
A building permit is required to begin construction of a property that falls under the CC2 or CC3 impact class. In contrast, there is a separate type of permit — a notice of commencement of construction work — for CC1 class properties. As a rule, a building permit is required for the construction of such properties as apartment buildings, shopping malls, hospitals, schools, sports complexes, industrial enterprises, engineering structures, and others.
Who issues a permit for construction work?
The permit is issued exclusively by the State Inspectorate of Architecture and Urban Planning of Ukraine (DIAM). The best option would be to submit a request for it with all the necessary documents through the “Diya” portal.
Why is it necessary to check the permit for construction work at the EUDESSB?
All construction permits, after their registration, are entered into the Unified State Electronic System in the Construction Sector (UEDESSB). Through it, it is possible to easily check the status of the permit and confirm its validity. This ensures transparency and allows the interested party to verify the legitimacy of the construction itself.
What is the cost of obtaining a construction permit with the help of lawyers?
The fixed cost of obtaining a building permit depends on a number of specific factors. Its formation is primarily influenced by: the location of the real estate object (region), the total area of the object, the volume of necessary documents, legal services and the urgency of the request itself. The price starts from 7,000 hryvnias, but is precisely determined only during communication with a real estate lawyer as part of a legal consultation.
