On July 17, 2023, the President of Belarus signed the Code on
Architectural, Urban Planning, and Construction Activities. This
code, initiated back in 2017, was developed to systematise the
norms of construction legislation. The new document replaces the
provisions of Law No. 300-Z of July 5, 2004, with a similar title,
and integrates the norms of several Presidential edicts and
Government resolutions. The Code consists of two parts (General and
Special), 28 chapters, and 128 articles.
The Code has further specified architectural, urban planning,
and construction activities:
- Architectural activities encompass the provision of expert and
advisory services, analysis of initial data and task preparation,
development of pre-design (pre-investment) documentation, etc.
(Article 55 of the Code).
