Construction Code Legal Alert Series <br />Issue 2: Licensing, Planning And Renovation Reforms

Unicase continues its Legal Alert series dedicated to the key provisions of Kazakhstan’s new Construction Code, which enters into force on 1 July 2026. This second instalment addresses a further set of structural reforms introduced by the Construction Code: a new ground for re-registration of construction licences following a change in ownership, the introduction of a two-year moratorium on amending detailed planning projects, the establishment of the design code as a binding element of the urban planning framework, the codification of a legislative regime for renovation, and the creation of a National Institute of Technical Standardisation in Construction.
