This should minimize the possibility of corruption risks between the developer and the inspectorate.
“Together with the government-public initiative “Together Against Corruption” we are considering the creation of electronic cabinets for builders, which means the maximum transition to online communication. There will be an electronic cabinet, let’s talk in it and everyone will see where the documents are, the deadline for consideration, the construction stage, and other things,” Kudriavtsev said.
He also said that the plans include connecting local authorities to the online platform for reviewing permits for the construction in the Transparent State Architectural and Construction Inspectorate launched in October.
