If social services are provided by a school, classify them under 856900. Otherwise, they generally fall under 841200, ensuring consistency in administrative and public service classification.

Use 841200 for construction-related town planning (e.g., building programs) and 841300 for inspections. If a unit performs both activities, 841300 should be prioritized. For town planning services in the private sector, classify under 712000.
