Administration - Building application process in Hamburg to be digital only from 2024
From next year, building applications in Hamburg will only be submitted and processed electronically. "With the mandatory "Building Application 2.0" service, the application will be created purely digitally in just a few steps," the city development authority announced on Wednesday. "All authorities involved access a central eFile of the building owner electronically and process the necessary approval steps directly and digitally." This will make the process simpler and faster for developers and authorities.
The digital building application process will make the entire approval chain digital and completely paperless. "In the administration alone, all documents previously had to be digitized at great expense before being checked or documents had to be requested by post or courier," it said. "As large-format building documents are often used in the planning permission process in particular, this has not only led to higher costs, but also to delays in the entire process."

Switching to digital processes will not only improve efficiency in the construction sector in Hamburg, but also significantly reduce costs associated with physical document handling in the administration. For instance, the digitization of large-format building documents and postal or courier requests for documents can be eliminated, saving resources and time.
Moreover, this digital transformation of the construction administration in Hamburg aligns with the long-term goal of the city to become a hub for modern and sustainable urban development, which involves integrating smart technology and innovative solutions in various sectors, including construction and infrastructure.
