kontrollplanen

Kontrollplanen is a project-specific quality control document used in Swedish building and construction practice to describe how compliance with laws, regulations and approved building permits will be verified during a construction process. It translates literally as "the control plan" and is part of the regulatory framework for ensuring safety, functionality and legal conformity in building works.

The plan typically specifies control points, methods of verification, timing, acceptance criteria, responsible parties and required documentation. Common entries cover structural work, fire safety, moisture protection, ventilation and installations where documented checks and measurements are needed. A named kontrollansvarig (responsible controller) or other qualified person often oversees the plan’s implementation and signs off completed controls.

Legally, the use and scope of a control plan are governed by the Swedish Planning and Building Act (Plan- och bygglagen) and regulations issued by Boverket, with municipal building authorities reviewing and accepting plans as part of permit processing when required. Kontrollplanen is treated as a living document that may be updated if project conditions change; deviations must be documented and may require corrective measures.

Benefits of a control plan include clearer responsibilities, traceable verification of critical work and support for final inspection and certification. Its form and level of detail vary with project complexity; simple repair works may need limited documentation while larger projects require comprehensive control arrangements.
