Assessment of the Buildings for the Living Environment Decree (Bbl)

A Bbl assessment is a check to see if a building plan meets the requirements of building regulations. Building regulations set requirements for the safety, usability, and environmental impact of buildings.

A Bbl assessment is important to ensure that your building plan complies with legal requirements. This can prevent problems and delays during construction. It also allows you to guarantee the quality and safety of your building.

A Bbl assessment is part of the Wkb and is mandatory for all new construction projects and for renovation projects that are more extensive than minor jobs.

A Bbl assessment is performed by a recognized expert. The expert assesses the building plan against the requirements of the Bbl. The findings are recorded in a report.

You can use the Bbl assessment report to adjust your building plan so that it complies with the requirements of building regulations. You can also submit the report to the municipality when applying for the environmental permit.

Yes, in some cases, a Bbl assessment can speed up the permit procedure. This is the case if the municipality agrees to the external assessment by Seconed. In that event, the municipality can expedite the review of the environmental permit application.
