If you are building or renovating, you deal with building regulations. One can star building if planning permission is granted by the municipality. For some buildings there is no building permit required if certain conditions are met.

Usually small structures, such as a partition between balconies or roof terraces, awnings or shutters, as well as dormers and outbuildings at the rear of a house, are permit-free. You can perform construction activities without the prior consent of the local legislation.
