The Regulation on preparatory and construction works is another regulatory act adopted following the amendments made into the legislative framework in relation to regulation of architecture and construction activities.

As of now, the notification on commencement of preparatory or construction works can be sent to the appropriate state architecture and construction control authority at the place of the construction object via the electronic system of construction declaration procedures.

Documents, which grant the right to perform preparatory works, are valid until procurement of the right to perform construction works; documents, which grant the right to perform construction works, are valid until completion of construction.
