  • The Ministry accepts preliminary plans completed up to 75% as long as all Novoclimat technical requirements are included in the plans (e.g., plans, elevations, sections, windows, and details).
  • A complete technical analysis of the plans and specifications is scheduled for all registrations. Allow two weeks for this process.

  • The inspections include:
  • Inspection "P" (startup meeting and slab inspection)
