Main design development

The next step is developing the main design that is a set of aligned designs providing the technical solution of a construction work and attesting compliance with the essential requirements for the construction work, as well as with other prescribed and determined requirements and conditions.

Depending on the type of construction work or works carried out, the main design includes an architectural design, a civil engineering design, an electro-technical design and a mechanical engineering design. It is developed by an authorised person holding the professional title of certified architect or certified engineer in construction. A list of authorised persons may be found on the websites of the Croatian Chamber of Arhitects http://www.arhitekti-hka.hr/ and Croatian Chamber of Civil Engineers http://www.hkig.hr/
 

Along with the main design, a separate part of the main design is the surveying design showing the location of one or more construction works on the building plot as well as the shape and size of the building plot, the forming of which is prescribed by the building permit. Surveying designs shall be developed by certified surveying contractors, the list of which is available on the website of the Croatian Chamber of Certified Geodetic Engineers http://www.hkoig.hr/
