📋 Tender Overview
Five new administrative units - Jesenice, Kranj, Radovljica, Skofja Loka and Trzic - have joined the forty-seven that have implemented the eConstruction system today. The system will be launched across Slovenia in early 2026.In 52 out of a total of 58 administrative units (UE), you can now submit an application for a building permit electronically, with the entire procedure and decision being carried out digitally. | Author: MNVP In 52 out of a total of 58 administrative units (UE), you can now submit an application for a building permit electronically, with the entire procedure and decision being carried out digitally. The eConstruction system will fully digitalize the process of obtaining a building permit. In order to make the transition smoother and to give everyone involved in the procedures for obtaining or issuing building permits sufficient time to adapt, we are gradually introducing the system. It will be fully introduced at the beginning of 2026, and by then it will be possible to submit applications and conduct procedures both in paper form and electronically. In this way, we are following the general trend of digitization and simplification of administrative procedures for citizens and enabling faster management of procedures for issuing building permits. Since March 2024, when the eConstruction system was introduced to the first administrative unit, we have been receiving positive responses from the field, and at the same time we are also receiving valuable suggestions for improvements that will help us upgrade the system - with the aim of ensuring that it provides a user-friendly and high-quality service. We are also directing our energy into educating and raising awareness among users. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Spatial Planning (MNVP) will continue with the gradual introduction of eConstruction. In January, the system will be introduced to the last set of administrative units - Domzale, Grosuplje, Kamnik, Ljubljana, Logatec and Vrhnika, thus introducing it to all UEs across the country; More details about eConstruction, the implementation timeline for individual administrative units, including schematic displays and an explanation of terms, have been published on the spatial information system portal. eConstruction The eConstruction system enables electronic business in the field of construction of buildings. Investors, designers, opinion-givers, administrative and inspection bodies, municipalities, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Spatial Planning and the public will be actively involved in eConstruction. Data collected through the system is stored in a database on the construction of facilities, which is accessible to the public, potential investors, designers, administrative workers, inspectors and other users. eConstruction enables direct entry of data from related official registers and databases, assistance in the preparation of project documentation with many automations and tools, submission of applications for obtaining project conditions and opinions, submission of applications in administrative procedures for the construction of facilities, registration of preparatory works and the start of construction, payment of duties and contributions, processing of applications and receiving feedback requests and decisions from administrative bodies and opinion-givers, monitoring the status of procedures. Key advantages of the system for decision-makers: electronic way of doing business, standardization of procedures and services, improvement of data quality, better control over the implementation of procedures. Key advantages of the system for citizens: electronic way of doing business, greater information about the method of implementation and the course of procedures, better accessibility to data, faster processing of applications. Access to eConstruction Users can access eConstruction via the portal using a qualified digital certificate (SIGOV-CA, SIGEN-CA, HalcomCA, PostarCA, AC NLB) and a registered SI-PASS user account or with a mobile identity smsPASS. Schematic presentation of the process of obtaining a building permit in electronic form. | Author: Ministry of Natural Resources and Spatial Planning The system will be fully established as part of the Spatial Information System (PIS), which is managed by the Directorate for Spatial Planning and Construction and was developed in close cooperation with the Ministry of Digital Transformation. The spatial information system is intended to support the implementation of tasks in the field of spatial planning and construction of buildings. It is connected to numerous external information systems, such as the electronic land register and the real estate cadastre. In its final form, the PIS will enable individuals, municipalities and state bodies to have free access to up-to-date spatial data and electronic business in the preparation and use of spatial documents, management of construction procedures, monitoring the status of spatial development and management of data on building land. In order to ensure that the transition to electronic business is smooth, and that employees at administrative units can be adequately trained in its use, and that stakeholders involved in the procedures for obtaining building permits have enough time to adapt, it was decided that the eConstruction system will be introduced gradually and not all over Slovenia at once. We are introducing the system gradually also because we want to implement support systems in parallel with eConstruction that will ensure better functioning of eConstruction. The most important support systems are the collection of spatial documents and the collection of competencies. Before the introduction of eConstruction in an individual administrative unit, we are working together with municipalities to ensure the completeness of data on spatial documents, and together with state and municipal opinion-givers, to provide data on the competence of individual o
