Obtain advice on building permits

In principle, building permits are required for all major construction or renovation projects. When a permit is required, an application must be submitted to the relevant administrative authority. It is not uncommon for such an application to be rejected, or for a neighbor to object. In such cases, it is often necessary to assert one's rights before a judicial authority, either by lodging an appeal against the refusal of a building permit, or by defending one's project when a neighbor or any other person objects to it.

As with any judicial or administrative procedure, relatively short deadlines sometimes apply, both for acting before the authority in charge, and for appealing against a decision to a higher authority. It is therefore important to pay particular attention to the applicable deadlines and to respect them scrupulously.
