SCIA

Once the application for SCIA has been submitted, it is possible to start work immediately. Within the SCIA fall the so-called extraordinary maintenance interventions pursuant to art. 3 of DPR 380/2001.
PDC
The Building Permit covers all urban and building changes in the territory. In particular, the interventions that fall within this title are regulated by art. 10 of DPR 380/2001. SuperSCIA, a fast alternative to PDC, was recently introduced.
