Milestone Protocols

Milestone protocols are an administrative procedure within which the completion of specific construction stages is checked in accordance with the issued construction permit and the agreed project.

This procedure is essential for the official handover of defined stages in the construction process and for the continuation of subsequent works.

Architecton provides full management of procedures related to the handover of defined stages in the construction process. Our team verifies the compliance of completed works with the agreed project, prepares the necessary documentation, and ensures the correct conduct of the process with administrative bodies.
