Removal of construction works

In order to remove a construction work or any part there of it is necessary to request removal design development from an authorized architect or construction engineer, and to notify the building authority in writing of the commencement of works on the removal of the construction work.

In the notification of the commencement of works on the removal of the construction work, the owner shall indicate the designer of the removal design, designations of that design, the contractor and the supervising engineer.

Within five days from receipt of the notification of the commencement of works on the removal of the construction work, the building authority shall notify the Ministry of Interior, building inspection and labour inspection thereof, while the building inspection shall also be notified about the designer and designations of the removal design.

When removing construction works, the stability of adjoining or other land and/or the compliance with the essential requirements of other construction works, or the life and health of people or other public interest must not be threatened in any way, while any construction waste resulting from the removal of the construction work must be handled in accordance with the provisions of this Act and the special act governing waste management.
