Permits and authorisations for construction activities

Operating without construction permits/authorisations will entail gross penalties or even worse, forfeiture of all proceeds. REVERA’s team of lawyers assist clients in formalising their construction activities in Belarus in full conformity with law. We support mandatory implementation of required systems and secure obtainment of construction permits/authorisations required for customers.

We provide legal assistance to:

  1.  Professional participants of construction activities: contractors, project bureaus, engineering organisations:
    • with respect to obtainment of required construction permits/authorisations and implementation of mandatory systems;
    • with respect to checking their compliance with requirements imposed to holders of construction permits/authorisations.
  2. Project owners/customers:
    • with respect to checking whether their counterparties possess all required construction permits/authorisations (mandatory as documentаtion to be submitted for the purpose of commissioning).

Complications that you might face if trying to obtain construction permits/authorisations independently:

  1. In practice, there may be some nuances not stipulated by regulations. These difficulties may be bridged over only by experienced agents that have frequently obtained construction permits/authorisations from various competent authorities.
  2. Some construction permits/authorisations may be obtained only in a step-by-step procedure. REVERA’s experience and our profound operation algorithm allow us to launch all processes concurrently, thus reducing delay times.
  3. Obtaining construction permits/authorisations also implies much paperwork – which clients may assign to REVERA.
  4. Often, requirements of competent authorities are broader than regulations imply – which entails extra charges for clients. REVERA’s experience allows optimising costs by way of reducing requirements of competent authorities to a certain minimum.
