As of Friday, November 17, two new features are available in the Construction Information System (BIS) – improvements to the construction process dashboard and enhancement of the public consultation process, ensuring the application and representation of the need for public consultations in BIS.
Improvements to the Construction Process Dashboard
For users of the BIS public portal, when opening the 'Current Data' section of construction cases, an enhanced progress bar for construction cases is visible. This improvement allows users to track the stage of a process, view document dates, deadlines, and further steps.
Enhancement of the Public Consultation Process
As part of the improvement of the public consultation process, the construction proposer creates a notice of submitting the construction proposal for public consultation based on the decision of the construction board on the necessity of public consultation. Upon receiving the notice and submitted documents, the construction board makes a decision to initiate public consultation.
The actual public consultation process is still organized outside BIS, but the construction board prepares a public consultation report, which is attached to BIS. Based on this report, a decision is made on issuing or denying a building permit.
By supplementing BIS with a public consultation report, transparency of data is promoted, and the public's awareness of construction intentions is improved. A feature indicating the public consultation process is embedded in the content selection criteria of construction cases, publicly available to unauthorized users on the BIS website under the section – Public Information/Construction.
