Before applying

Construction managers and owners of structures can request a roofed building inspection. The inspection is conducted by the Building Commissioner.

The roofed building stage is further defined in the standard IST-51 and is, according to the standard, construction stage 4. The building's construction year is based on the registration of the roofed building stage in the property register, so it's essential to ensure it is correctly registered, for example, due to preservation provisions.

Application process

If the building fulfills all the requirements listed in Chapter 4 of IST-51, the Building Commissioner will issue a certificate of roofed building inspection and hand it over to the construction manager or owner. Additionally, the Building Commissioner registers construction stage 4 in the national property register. The inspection results are recorded by the Building Commissioner in their case management system.
