Depending on the type of work to be carried out, it will be major or minor works.
Normally it will be minor works when they do not involve an increase in volume and / or built-up area, nor a change in the use of the property, premises or dwelling, nor an integral reform of the entire building. Therefore, the rehabilitation of a facade is usually a minor work, the execution of a new wall with exposed work, monolayer or stone cladding would be part of a larger work, and the assembly of a scaffold alone would also be considered a minor work.
