The process of obtaining building and occupancy permits is a process in which several collaborators - experts from different disciplines, up to and including clerks from public authorities - are involved in the work until the procedure is completed. The final objective is to obtain a specific administrative authorisation. This is paid work and work for a living, and everyone involved should be aware of this. In my experience, everything is fine and dandy until we get to the part of the project that involves the state authorities. There is no time limit here. That is where all economics breaks down. The deadlines are overstretched and the work is organised in such a way that they can be extended ad infinitum. I believe that there should be norms for the time it takes to review the formal content (the components of the application) and then the content of the study itself. The second part in particular is examined once, the necessary corrections or additions are made and that is it. The current method buys time for the backlog by making partial checks of the submitted content and, with each amendment, starting from the beginning again as if it were the first time the application had been submitted. This means less work for applicants, less money and, not least, less GDP. I think that the current procedural practice should be reviewed.
