Content of Project Documentation for Building Permit Proceedings

• an accompanying report with data supplementing the basic information about the building provided in the building permit application, with information on compliance with the conditions of the land-use decision, if issued, or compliance with the conditions of the approved zoning plan if a land-use decision is not required, and information on the results of surveys and measurements performed,
• a summary technical report, which must clearly state:
  • the proposed urban, architectural, and structural-technical design of the building, its structural parts, and the use of suitable construction products in relation to meeting the basic requirements for buildings and compliance with general technical requirements for construction, including general technical requirements for buildings used by persons with reduced mobility,
  • fire safety solutions according to special regulations,
  • requirements for energy and water supply, wastewater drainage, transport (including parking), waste disposal, and the solution for connecting the building to existing utility networks and technical equipment,
  • data on above-ground and underground structures on the building plot (including utility networks and technical equipment) and on existing protection zones,
  • for buildings with operational, production, or technical equipment, data on this equipment, the storage concept, internal transport solutions, and areas for service, maintenance, and repairs, and requirements for trial operation after completion of the building,
  • data on compliance with conditions set by the relevant state administration authorities, if obtained before filing the application,
  • site layout and measures to ensure occupational health and safety if construction work is carried out under extraordinary conditions,
  • the method of ensuring occupational health and safety and the safety of technical equipment during construction as well as during future operation,
• the overall site plan (layout plan) usually at a scale of 1:200 to 1:500, indicating:
  • property boundaries and their parcel numbers according to the real estate cadastre, including neighboring plots and existing structures on them,
  • underground utility networks and technical equipment,
  • proposed connections to the transport and technical infrastructure of the area,
  • protection zones;

in the case of a linear structure, a drawing of its route on a map base at a scale of 1:10,000 or 1:50,000; additional drawings according to the purpose and complexity of the structure,

• staking-out drawings or necessary geometric parameters indicated in the layout plan for simple structures,
• construction drawings of the building showing the current and proposed state, especially floor plans, sections, and elevations (usually at a scale of 1:100) containing individual types of structures and parts of the building (e.g., foundations, load-bearing structures, staircases, building envelope, roof structures, chimneys), the horizontal and vertical layout of the building and all its spaces with precise functional designation, schematic indication of internal distribution systems and installations (e.g., plumbing including fire water mains, high-voltage, low-voltage, gas, hot water), technical equipment (e.g., boiler rooms and elevators), and modifications and solutions prescribed for the special security of buildings in terms of civil protection, fire protection, and fulfillment of basic requirements for buildings,
• a structural assessment of the building demonstrating the mechanical resistance and stability of the load-bearing structure,
• a proposal for the landscaping of the building’s surroundings (exterior) and a proposal for the protection of greenery during construction,
• in the case of buildings with operational, production, or technical equipment, construction drawings containing the spatial placement of machinery and equipment, including internal communication solutions,
• in the case of buildings with special execution requirements, a construction organization project if the data provided in the summary technical report is insufficient.

If the developer applies for a building permit gradually for individual structures within a complex, the project documentation for the first structure includes the overall site plan (layout plan) of the entire complex, including the construction site facilities.

The overall site plan and construction drawings, especially floor plans, sections, and elevations, are submitted in a format that guarantees print durability.

For simple structures and temporary construction site facilities, the scope and content of the project documentation may be appropriately limited in individual cases after consultation with the building authority.
