Law number: 11 of the Year 2020, concerning Job Creation or commonly known as Omnibus Law, is one of the breakthrough bills aimed to boost economic and business activities and growth in Indonesia. One of the sectors majorly affected currently is the Construction industry. Though in 2018, the government had simplified licensing procedures and regulations for the said business activity with Government Regulation Number: 24 of the Year 2018 concerning Electronic Integrated Business Licensing Services, the Indonesian government seeks the need to make further and more drastic changes to ease the construction companies. It was enacted in 2021 with Government Regulation Number: 5 of the Year 2021 on Implementation of Risk-Based Business License (“GR 5/2021”) based on the Omnibus Law.

Article 81 section 1 juncto Article 176 section 1 of GR 5/2021 underlined the new regulation by listing the business permits needed to perform Construction Services which consisted of Business Registration Number (NIB) and Standard Certificate. All of which are valid as long as the construction services are conducted and need not be extended to National Construction Companies (BUJKN) andfor Foreign Construction Companies, the said licenses are valid for three years and can be further extended.
