ok, I have to fix the following sentence by eliminating the "there are", but I don't know what else to put (what words should I replace it with?)

While there are construction regulations, there are also construction permits.

I'm not so certain that you need to change either of the "there are"s, but if you choose to, you might say something like, "Although construction regulations exist, there are also construction permits".However, that doesn't read better to me than your words.

What does concern me, however, is that you seem to have worded this as if those two ideas (permits and regulations) conflict, when actually, the concept of a permit implies that there are requirements of some sort, and the concept of requirements implies that permission will be granted if they are met.

Admittedly, requirements for a permit may not include regulations - just the payment of a fee, for example.

Both construction regulations and construction permits exist.

While construction regulations exist, it is still necessary to obtain construction permits.

Construction is regulated, but permits must first be obtained.

It sounds clear and balanced as it is - if you start dicking with it youcould make it wordy or confusing or pompous.
