Housing Construction Streamlining: Faster Procedures for New Developments

This act aims to accelerate the construction of new housing and renovation of existing ones by simplifying environmental procedures. This means housing projects, including affordable housing, can be completed faster, potentially increasing housing availability and reducing costs. Citizens may experience easier access to housing and construction-related services.
Key points
Accelerated construction processes: Many housing-related activities, such as renovations, small-scale developments, or office-to-residential conversions, will require fewer environmental formalities.
Increased housing availability: Simplifications are intended to help new housing, including affordable units, emerge faster, potentially impacting the real estate market.
Less bureaucracy for housing projects: Activities like homebuyer assistance, tenant support, or minor infrastructure repairs will be subject to streamlined procedures.
Monitoring of effects: The government will annually report on how the new regulations reduce project timelines and administrative costs, especially in the affordable housing sector.
