DEALING WITH CONSTRUCTION PERMITS<br />

What are the details?<br />

The indicators reported here for <strong>Burundi</strong> are based<br />

on a set of specific procedures—the steps that a<br />

company must complete to legally build a<br />

warehouse—identified by <strong>Doing</strong> <strong>Business</strong> through<br />

information collected from experts in construction<br />

licensing, including architects, construction<br />

lawyers, construction firms, utility service providers<br />

and public officials who deal with building<br />

regulations. These procedures are those that apply<br />

to a company and structure matching the standard<br />

assumptions used by <strong>Doing</strong> <strong>Business</strong> in collecting<br />

the data (see the section in this chapter on what<br />

the indicators cover).<br />
