Building permit of building

Definition

Building permit refers to the final authorisation to start work on a building project. It is granted by public authorities in response to an application by a principal and based on a specific building plan.

Building refers to a roofed independent free-standing permanent structure usually enclosed within external walls or dividing walls that extend from the foundations to the roof and comprises one or more rooms or other space. A building may be used or intended for residential, commercial, industrial or institutional purposes, including the provision of services. A building can be entered by persons or animals and is suitable or intended for protecting them and objects.

For technical reasons, "building" also includes a separately usable underground construction.
