Request and obtain construction permit from State Architectural and Construction
Inspection (GASN)
: State Architectural and Construction Inspection (GASN)
Agency
The permit for construction works is issued by the local branch of the architecture and
construction authority. Although the permit should be issued within 5 days, in practice it takes
longer.
An inspector from the local branch of the architecture and construction authority undertakes
oversight of the construction. There is no permit application fee. However, for the
oversight/inspection phase, the company enters into a contract with the authority at a cost of
0.03% of the value of the warehouse.
The company must submit the following documents:
• Application form
• Positive evaluation summary from the public examination bodies on the working project
• Copy of the general plan and elevations of the building approved by the architectural bodies, or
the protocol of the Town-Planning Council of the Main Department on Architecture and
Construction of the city of Tashkent
• Address list of construction sites
The Inspectorate registers the construction project and issues the building permit. BuildCo starts
construction of the warehouse and notifies the Inspectorate of the commencement of works within
a month of receiving the building permit.
