WHAT IS A CONSTRUCTION PERMIT?

Construction license: This is a permit required by the local administration to carry out any type of construction and is a municipal permit to carry out the work. Its purpose is to verify the application's compliance with the standards established in the urban planning regulations. In most cases, the following activities require a building permit:

MUNICIPAL LICENSES AND PERMITS TO CARRY OUT WORKS

LICENSE TYPES

Taking this into account, it is necessary to distinguish between the types of existing construction permits, which are basically two: permit for large works and permit for small works.

As its name indicates, a small building license is required to carry out simple and minor renovation works such as painting common elements, replacing tiles, repairing facades, etc.; However, a major building permit is required for complex works that involve changes to the original layout of the house, such as adding a floor, expanding the surface, any intervention that changes the row of the building, etc.…

To know if the project we plan to undertake requires a major or minor building permit, we must use the local building regulations of a given municipality, since each municipality has its own regulations. .

Regarding the requested documentation, the requirements for each license are similar, with the difference that a technical design is required for a large construction license, while a technical design is sufficient for a small construction license Technical report signed by qualified technician.
