Construction works that consist in carrying out the demolition of the structures and the buildings situated in the real estate require an approval. Demolition works cannot be started  until a final decision about the demolition permit is obtained.

Demolition of some buildings and structures requires only a notification about the works. In the notification a kind, a range and the method of making the demolition works shall be determined and clarified.
 
The demolition works can be started before accepting the notification or issuing the permit, if they aim at removing direct  threat to the safety of people or possessions. Starting such works does not exempt from the obligation of notifying or obtaining the permit.
