Apply for type approval on a project-related basis
Service Description
Designs must comply with technical regulations or be approved. If a type of construction does not do this, it may still be technically suitable. In this case, you need a project-related type approval. This provides extra proof of its suitability. The building authority will check the documents and proof of the type of construction that you submit with the application.
Process flow
You submit the application to Department 24, Building Technology and Sustainable Construction of the Thuringian Ministry of Digital and Infrastructure (TMDI).
You should enclose all documents required for the structural engineering assessment.
Once the application has been received, the completeness of the application documents will be checked.
The structural engineering review of the documents then begins.
If detailed questions arise, we may ask additional questions.
Once the documents have been successfully checked, a decision is issued containing the project-related type approval. This decision is the proof of usability for the type of construction.
A notification of fees is issued at the same time.
