the Committee, to a more modern building was added in 2017, with the mission to modernize and simplify the legal framework, to promote an increase in residential construction and the increase of competition, without jeopardizing the health, safety, security, gestaltningskvalitet, a healthy environment, and sustainable development.
in The past decade, we have seen a growing housing shortage in many parts of the country. The housing construction has not increased to a sufficient extent, and the building does not meet the need for diversity of supply at an affordable cost, which many people can experience. In the course of our inquiry it has become clear that the current legal framework hinders a cost – effective and resource-efficient construction.
There is a strong support to the Swedish building code, shall be expressed in terms of functional requirements. This means that the state defines the characteristics of a building should be, but it is left to the developer to choose the solution in order to meet the requirements.
We present a set of measures of the legal framework and its implementation will be simpler, more predictable and more flexible.
1 , making It easier to build on. , and 57 per cent of the housing stock built between 1950 and 1980, and are the face of huge renewal and renovation needs. In spite of the need, say, a third of developers in our survey that they have declined to carry out the renovations.
The main reason is that the current design requirements, and technical requirements need to be implemented in the whole building when only a portion is rebuilt. The purpose of the regulation is to improve the existing stock, in connection with the conversion, especially when it comes to accessibility and energy efficiency. Then, the rebuilds are absent it counteracts the rules of their order. Ombyggnadskraven is small and expensive.
We suggest that the concept of conversion, and the associated requirements be removed from the planning and building act. Only the altered, renovated, or rebuilt, will need to be adjusted according to the current regulations. Because of the existing housing stock will be able to be used effectively, it needs to be able to change as needed.

the New regulations allow a more flexible layout. : the Future of housing needs to be more resource-efficient, and when it comes to the use of spaces and materials. In our proposal, the new rules allowed greater flexibility in layout, without compromising the availability of the product. We believe that it is justified in two levels, one for the housing of not more than 35 square metres and housing more than 35 square meters in size. This means that the same rules will apply to all of the smaller dwellings, including flats.
Even in the larger housing allows for a more compact layout in which the number of the rooms can be adapted to your needs. After the arrival of the newly-built housing, replaced the shelves, and closets are often out there, which is a waste of resources. We suggest that there should be a place for storage, but that requirement is in the interior of the storage will be deleted. With more freedom regarding the design, we get a greater variety of housing to be requested by others.
3. It is clear what the requirements are. , There is a strong support to the Swedish building code, shall be expressed in terms of functional requirements. This means that the state defines the characteristics of a building should be, but it is left to the developer to choose the solution in order to meet the requirements. The general nature of the regulations, to be supplemented at the date of the detailed public counsel, and any references to the standards. When the rules are perceived as ambiguous, they have a general counsel, and the standards have become the benchmark for the assessment of whether requirements have been met (or not). We believe that this is a bad thing.
the point is that it is the state, through the Board, which shall determine the requirements of the community. Because of the standardization of the basis, is market driven, it is not a community that is primarily driving the development of the standards. We propose that the general council is minimised and that the references to standards are to be removed. Just as important is to have a simple, flexible, and predictable method of application is that the requirements are clearly stated in the rules. We suggest that the Board is given a mandate to reform the regulations in line with the principles set out in our proposal. The regulations should be clarified, at the same time that they are, in fact detaljstyrande of the general counsel, and the standards were taken out. This way, we are functioning of the function.
4 , the New authority is to create a uniform implementation of the regulations. in order For the regulatory framework must be predictable and must have provisions to be interpreted and applied uniformly by local governments. We are proposing that a new agency, the Byggkravsnämnden, presented with the task of providing preliminary rulings on the basis of a proposed settlement meets certain requirements. The assessment of the case is that the client initiates, it shall be made on the basis of the building must be fit for purpose, accessible and usable for persons with impaired movement or orientation as well as meet all of the technical requirements. A positive ruling will be binding on the municipal building for review by the planning and assessment of startbesked.
Byggkravsnämndens reference for a preliminary ruling is created, indicative of the environment, which makes the application more consistent and predictable. In particular, it is desirable for developers who want to develop a series of houses and industrial buildings in order to construct the equivalent of the buildings in the different municipalities of the region. Certainty in the application forms, the competition in the market, and the establishment of a foreign construction companies. 5 Process to be simplified and clarified. We suggest that a certified expert and kontrollansvariga the abolition of the planning and building act, as they have a number of shortcomings. It does not give any assurance by an independent appraisal, at the expense of errors. The main problem is that a certified experts and kontrollansvariga has a dependency on the client, then it is the client who chooses who is to be engaged, and will pay for the service.
By removing the legal requirement for these functions to simplify the testing process, and it is clear that the developer is responsible for the monitoring. The visit, which is planning to implement in the construction sites in order to ensure that the carbon control plan and the building permit are complied with, may vary in quality. We believe that a visit’s status will need to be increased, and suggests that the planning and building act describes what should be discussed during a visit to a workplace, as well as the provisions on the monitoring plans to be made clearer.
and that, taken together, provide the basis for a more efficient construction process, a greater variety of housing, increased competition, and a long-term sustainable development.
