After the acceptance of construction work by the architect the building needs to be accepted by the municipality too. Therefore a municipal engineer verifies, if the building fulfills all requirements of the building license. Afterwards you receive a certification of comfort, in Spanish called "Cedula de Habitabilidad". This paper is required to get water-connection, electricity and phone. While the connectors for water and electricity are usually not located at the property, an estimation of these costs will be done already in the building contract. With the "Cedula de Habitabilidad", the necessary connections can be implemented fast and promptly.
