The Government Plans to Introduce an Online System for Obtaining Building Permits

As a result, the existing problems related to the main stages of construction (issuance of architectural planning task, project approval, issuance of construction permit) will be regulated, a convenient, transparent operating environment will be created - electronic "One Window". This will enable on the one hand to meet the requirements of all bodies and organizations, on the other hand by operating online and simultaneously, will reduce the developers' contacts with the latter, will save time. The system will allow to monitor the processes, will serve as a unified database in the field of construction. As a result, it is expected to ensure the continuity of the reforms implemented by the Government of the Republic of Armenia aimed at improving the business and investment environment of the Republic of Armenia.

"To what extent are we confident that the subsidy programs are being implemented with proper quality?" In response, Gnel Sanosyan noted that the relevant employees of the ministry pay regular visits to construction sites. "Unfortunately, there are many cases when design and construction defects are found. If the builders do not meet the required norms, they will not be paid.

We are trying to prevent such cases, we will be quite strict," the Minister said, adding that there are cases over which the inspection body has initiated proceeding.
