3. Plan or study related to a construction project
4. Excavation at a street or other public area
5. Placement of structures (for example, sewer pipes) in a public area (longer-term construction sites) and/or conducting water removed from a construction site to such an area
6. Leasing of a public area for construction work, for example, fencing off a street or park area as a construction site
7. Conducting of water removed from a construction site to an area owned by the Sports Department, Port of Helsinki or a private owner
8. Conducting of water removed from a construction site to a plot owned by the City of Helsinki

10. Conducting of water that differs from domestic wastewater, for example, wastewater containing hazardous substances (including water from the remediation of polluted soil), to wastewater or mixed sewers
11. Temporary operation that causes noise and vibration
12. Remediation of polluted soil
13. Renovation of the outer surfaces of buildings
14. Operations that may cause damage to water bodies (for example, a long-term construction site, from which environmentally harmful waters are conducted to a storm water sewer or directly to a water body)
15. Building or demolition work, which may result in exceptional emissions or actions in waste management
    

    
    

Construction projects requiring a permit must apply for a building permit. In addition, the builder must make a commencement report and mount a site information board before the work is begun.

Commencement report

The commencement report is made to the Building Control Services.

Construction site information board

Construction sites that significantly impact their environment must be announced in Finnish and Swedish well before the work is begun with a construction site information board or by other means. The information reported should include the nature of the project, address, the project owner and contact information, the time of commencement and the time of scheduled completion of the work.
