is not to mention that dealings with
building authorities constantly take
up more and more time. This results
in increased costs and lenthens the
building period and increases the
cost of capital. The processing time
of building applications takes up far
too much time and is too expen-
sive. To explain how new demands
constantly increase building costs
one could mention the calculations
of the size of accommodation. The
building authorities recently imposed
the requirement that with the draw-
ings for all new buildings a table of
registration” had to be submitted.
This table has to contain a number
of sizes and measurements that
designers have to calculate. When
all is said and done a designer has
to calculate almost 25 cubic and
square areas for each flat. Sqare
areas have to be calculated accord-
ing to 8 different definitions. In addi-
tion the area of outside steps has
to be calculated and window open-
ings in external walls. The resulting
expense increases of course the
design cost along with other simi-
lar demands that constantly come
about.
Time consuming
building control
Time used dealing with building
authorities has been constantly
increasing and is costíng the build-
ing industry a lot. For builders it is
important that applications are han-
dled with speed, that the regulations
are clear and not more complicated
than necessary. The activities of the
building inspectors have to take
into consideration the interests of
builders to keep building costs low.
Time consuming “special require-
ments” are however being made
and many requirements could be
mentioned that only result in delays
and increased cost. This can be
explained with a little example of

the “processing of “property division
statements” (eignaskiptayfirlýsingar).
The building inspector surveys the
contents of these documents and
they can not be entered into the
property register (Þinglýst) unless
he approves. In Reykjavík “property
division statements” can not be
approved without coloured draw-
ings of the building in question. All
spaces have to be coloured and
areas in common ownership have to
be coloured yellow.
Approved “property division state-
ments” are kept in the offices of
the district magistrate. Users only
receive ordinary copies. They do
not show any colours and yellow
lines disappear. Requirements like
this make dealings with the building
authorities difficult and complicated,
lengthen the approval time and
increase the costs of those who
have business with the office of the
building inspector. All this leads to
increased building costs. ■
