📋 Tender Overview
The construction inspection, operating within the Inspectorate of the Republic of Slovenia for Natural Resources and Spatial Planning, carried out a target campaign for the start of construction between 6 February and 1 September 2025. The action included 36 construction inspectors, who had a total of 238 controls. We planned 150 controls, which means that we fulfilled the plan not only in its entirety, but with 158 % success.Author: Pixabay website
The controls were focused primarily on demanding and less demanding facilities, where the provision of the legality and safety of construction in the broader interest is in the public interest. Until 9 September 2025, construction inspectors decided in 75 matters of a total of 139. In 24 percent of the inspected facilities, irregularities were identified, among which were:
Construction without registration or by incomplete application of the start of construction,
Construction in inconsistent with project documentation,
unmarked or unpaved construction sites.
As part of the campaign, inspectors issued 18 inspection decisions:
4 Decisions due to an unfriendly or incomplete application of the start of construction,
13 decisions due to irregularities on construction sites,
1 decision to stop construction and remove an illegal facility.
In the case of minor irregularities, inspectors have warned taxpayers and set a deadline for elimination. This type of work has proven to be effective, as many of the shortcomings have been eliminated during the control itself.
Improving the situation in the field
In all cases involved in the campaign, not all information was obtained by which the actual situation could be determined. Therefore, the establishment procedures will also be carried out according to the scheduled time of the campaign. Of the 137 administrative inspection procedures instituted in 62 matters, the decision has not yet been taken, which represents 45 percent of all matters.
Current results indicate an improvement in the situation. Compared to 2024, almost twice the fewer irregularities have been identified this year. Focused controls show that the constant presence of construction inspectors in the field contributes significantly to improving the situation. Such controls prove to be very effective, as investors are increasingly recognizing and respecting their legal obligations.
Application of start of construction
Application of the start of construction is the legally prescribed phase of construction. The investor must provide: before starting construction:
slammed record (for demanding and less demanding facilities, except for attachments),
Project documentation for the construction of construction signed by the designer and design manager,
Supervisor Information (personal name and identification number of control manager),
Certificate of Paid Municipal Contribution WHEN IMPORTANT,
If necessary, an environmental permit or the opinion of the Nature Conservation Organization, if specified in the building permit.
