Slovakia Restricts Construction of Reserved Buildings to Qualified Contractors Only

Slovakia has implemented new legislation limiting who can carry out construction of reserved buildings, requiring only qualified contractors to perform such work. The law aims to reduce improvisation and unprofessional practices that have plagued the Slovak construction industry. Reserved buildings in Slovakia typically include critical infrastructure such as hospitals, schools, and major public facilities where construction quality and safety standards are paramount. The legislation represents part of broader efforts to professionalize Slovakia's construction sector and ensure higher building standards.
