The Building Control Department decides on any permits related to buildings and construction and provides general guidance and advice on the matter.
The task of the Building Control Department is, for its part, to ensure the construction of a safe, healthy and comfortable living environment. The Building Control Authority supervises the compliance of construction with the legislation and monitors the condition of the environment. In addition, the task of the municipal Building Control Authority is to ensure sufficient general guidance and advice on construction in the municipality.
The Builder’s Guide, launched in autumn 2023, assists with various stages of construction.
The website provides comprehensive information on topics such as the progress of the construction process and the required attachments at each stage. Unfortunately, the service is only available in Finnish.
