A granted permit can't simply be changed. That is why the design has to be right before you apply.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Where do I submit the building application?
At the Public Works department (DOW). We make sure the set is complete.
Can I change something after the permit?
That is difficult: a change means a new application. That is why we go through the design with you carefully first.
Do I have to come to Suriname?
No. Everything is digital: WhatsApp, email and video calls.
Where are you building?
