Frequently asked questions

What works are considered 'small'?
It depends on the municipality, but they usually include interior renovations without affecting structure, window and door replacements, facade painting, and minor repairs. Works that affect structure, facade or increase surface require a major permit.
Can I start work before getting the permit?
No. Starting without a permit can result in fines and an order to stop works. For prior communication, you may start on the day of submission in many cases.
