Use the left panel to walk down the 6-step pre-check tunnel:

  1. Start with region and municipality.
  2. Pick the project scenario (new / existing / major addition / DP) and building type.
  3. Choose where the work happens (indoor, outdoor, mixed).
  4. Pick the closest work group.
  5. Choose a specific work item card.
  6. Review the result (with city permit profile), attach drawings, and then continue into Apply.

The goal is to make it card-based and simple to understand if your work typically needs a permit – before you start a full application.
