Building Control
The supervision of construction, in the public interest, is the responsibility of the municipal building supervision authority. The duties of building supervision include deciding on building permits, conducting official inspections of building projects, providing general advice on construction, and supervising the built environment. Through its activities, building supervision guides and oversees the creation and preservation of a high-quality building stock and a pleasant environment.
Advice and services
Building supervision guides and advises on matters related to the planning and implementation of building projects, and processes building permit applications. For matters related to construction, you can receive advice and apply for permits electronically via the Lupapiste service. Matters concerning the supervision of the built environment can be reported with a separate request for action.
