Installations, activity licences and what happens on site

The PROBUILD blog. Cases, criteria and decisions made before they become expensive to change.

Almost everything that goes wrong with an installation was decided long before anyone touched a pipe: a route that wasn’t checked against the structure, an occupancy calculated on the high side, a comparison of three quotes that weren’t measuring the same thing. This is where we write about that moment, the only one when fixing it was cheap.

You’ll find cases about installation projects, activity licences, legalisation and self-protection plans, told from where they’re actually seen: the premises, the plant room and the file that comes back with corrections.

And when regulations come into it — which in the Balearics they often do — they come with their revision date. A text about regulations without a date is worthless, and half of what’s on the internet is out of date.
