Workshop: “Permit Support for Construction 2026: Procedures, Errors, Risks of Rejection”

Are you planning the construction of a new industrial or energy facility, a residential complex, or the reconstruction of an existing one? Requirements for permit documentation, shelters, and civil defense structures changed in 2026, alongside special regulatory regimes for energy facilities. All these updates must be factored into your legal and design teams’ workflows. All permit and design documentation is now processed through the E-System (EDESSB), where any formal inaccuracy automatically blocks documents and halts the project.

We invite your teams on September 11 to a 5-hour practical workshop, “Permit Support for Construction 2026: Procedures, Errors, Risks of Rejection.” Speakers will analyze the full project lifecycle from development intent to commissioning, specific design features, permit acquisition for special facility categories, automatic registration nuances, common mistakes, and causes of rejection.

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions directly to regulatory representatives.
