SMALL-SCALE PERMITS
The Small Scale Permit is a form of building permit that concerns smaller works than the building permit and is also faster and cheaper to issue. The key condition for the issuance of a small-scale permit is that the property respect urban planning provisions.
It is officially known as Approval of Small-Scale Building Works (ASSBW).
Tselika Group undertakes all the work for the issuance of a small-scale permit, with constant updates and always with the agreement of the owner.
