Ehitusseadustikule

Ehitusseadustikule refers to the Estonian Construction Act. This legislation governs the entire process of construction and building, from planning and design to construction, use, and demolition of buildings and other structures. Its primary aim is to ensure the safety, quality, and usability of buildings, as well as to protect the environment and public interests.

The act details the requirements for obtaining building permits, the responsibilities of various parties involved in construction projects, including developers, designers, contractors, and supervisors. It also outlines the procedures for construction supervision and the acceptance of completed buildings. Furthermore, Ehitusseadustikule addresses aspects related to the energy performance of buildings, accessibility, and the sustainable use of resources.

Key elements covered by the act include the classification of buildings based on their intended use and risk, the establishment of technical requirements for construction works, and the regulation of professional qualifications for individuals working in the construction sector. The legislation is regularly updated to incorporate new technical standards, safety regulations, and European Union directives. Compliance with Ehitusseadustikule is mandatory for all construction activities in Estonia.
