GUIDES
Guides to authorising construction works
From the urbanism certificate through to the reception of works, explained step by step, with the official forms ready to download.
This is everything we have written about authorising construction works in Romania: which documents each stage needs, how the official forms are filled in, who signs them, and which fees and deadlines apply. Each guide rests on official sources, and where the law leaves room for interpretation we say so rather than inventing a rule.
