- Planning and Building Act
LOV-2008-06-27-71In force: 2009-07-01Direktoratet for byggkvalitet
The Act governs land-use planning at national, regional and municipal level, and its building part sets the requirements for applications, responsibility, control, completion certificates and supervision. It determines both what may be built where and who answers for the works.
Building, design and condition
- Specification texts for building, construction and installations, part 1
NS 3420-1:2024Standard Norge
The shared language for describing and pricing work in Norwegian construction projects: the code system, measurement rules and tolerance requirements. When the specification builds on NS 3420, both parties know what the price covers and disputes over scope become fewer.
- Acoustic conditions in buildings, sound classes for building types
NS 8175:2019Standard Norge
Sound classes for dwellings, schools, kindergartens, hospitals and offices. The technical building regulations point to class C as the minimum level, which makes the standard the practical yardstick in both design and defect claims.
- Criteria for passive houses and low energy buildings, non-residential
NS 3701:2012Standard Norge
Energy criteria for passive houses and low energy non-residential buildings: heat loss figures, heating demand and requirements for building elements. It is used in public procurement and grant schemes where an energy level must be documented.
- Information management using BIM, concepts and principles
NS-EN ISO 19650-1:2018Standard Norge
The framework for ordering, delivering and managing digital building information across a building's whole life cycle. Public clients refer to the series in tender documents, and it governs who owns and updates the model.
