Common problem

I'm going to carry out works that need a municipal licence

Active construction site with a concrete structure being built

The short answer

Works that require a licencia de obra mayor (major works licence) need a technical project and prior municipal authorisation: depending on the case, new construction, extensions, certain renovations, refurbishments or structural interventions. The project and the file documentation are prepared before submitting the application, and the granting belongs to the town hall.

Possible causes

  • 01Construction of a new building.
  • 02Extension of an existing construction.
  • 03Renovations affecting the structure or the configuration of the property.
  • 04Refurbishments or structural interventions.

What needs checking

  • Planning regulations applicable to the parcel and the works.
  • Measurement and survey of the current state, where applicable.
  • Scope of the technical project required according to the works.
  • Documentation the town hall requires for the file.

Which professionals are involved

The preliminary study, the measurement, the technical project and the submission of the application are our part. The licence is granted or denied by the town hall according to planning regulations; its granting cannot be guaranteed, but a technically well-prepared file can.
