It also includes obtaining the survey report by submitting the application through the website of the building permit system.
Among the improvements is also abolition of inspection by Kahramaa, which used to be mandatory for issuing construction completion certificate and to connecting the service, except for construction of warehouses.
Furthermore, the amendments include inclusion of payment of fees for the delivery of services of Kahramaa in the first invoice for warehouses only and incorporating the application for connection to sewage network into the building permits system.
The amendments also include abolition of inspection by telecommunications service providers at the stage of building completion.
