All construction permits will be obtained without the participation of officials and there will be no need to submit them in paper form to the State Architectural and Construction Inspectorate, Fedorov told Liga.Tech on August 5.

"The system itself will automatically consider whether to give you permission or not as electronic interaction with other registries takes place," he added.

As was earlier reported, Ukraine's Ministry for Regional Development, Construction, Housing and Utilities in May reported the registration of construction projects would be liberalized to reduce corruption risks. The period for assigning postal addresses to construction and real estate facilities was shortened from 30 days to five.

The online registration of facilities' readiness for commissioning was introduced in April 2019.
