Building control activities are limited during the summer holiday season
Building control services will be limited during the summer holiday period, and services will be provided as follows.
Technical Helpdesk
– The technical helpdesk will be available throughout the summer holiday period, almost as usual.
– The digitisation of old licences will be suspended from 8 July to 4 August. During this period, there will be delays in processing times.
– During the summer holiday period, the service is mainly available online or by telephone; appointments must be arranged separately.
Licence processing and licence decisions
– The processing of planning applications will not be suspended during the summer holidays, but staff taking leave will inevitably affect the preparation of projects. We ask applicants for their patience. Applications are being prepared for decision in the order in which they were received. However, we aim to adhere to the processing times set out in the Building Act.
– Decisions on planning permission applications submitted under the Land Use and Building Act are made on Wednesdays, whilst decisions on applications submitted under the Building Act are made on every working day of the week.
– Please note the licence inspectors’ office hours and book an appointment separately if necessary.
Supervision during construction
– Kick-off meetings, structural inspections and final inspections will be carried out throughout the summer holiday period, albeit with fewer staff than usual. Please bear this in mind when planning your schedules.
– The prolonged absence of the plumbing inspector has led to a temporary arrangement regarding building services inspections, whereby official supervision is focused on the early stages of construction. External water and drainage inspections of the property will be replaced by inspections carried out by Tuusulan Vesi’s water supply manager, and these inspections will take place on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons each week. However, inspections will not be carried out between 29 June and 16 July or between 27 July and 14 August. You can find out more about the exceptional arrangements on our website
Towards the end of the summer holiday season, our operations will be affected by the Building Control Department’s move to new premises in the centre of Hyrylä. Further details will be provided at a later date.
The Building Control Department wishes you a sunny and relaxing summer!
