The most costly mistake a developer can make is to start work without the necessary documents and then try to \u2018regularise\u2019 them. A property built without authorisation to carry out construction work is considered unauthorised construction (Article 376 of the Civil Code), with all the consequences that entails: it will not be commissioned, registered or permitted to be sold, and a court may order its demolition.<\/p>\n

That said, a building permit is not always<\/strong> required. For a detached house, a notification of the commencement of construction works<\/strong> is sufficient \u2014 this is a different, much simpler procedure. Confusion between a \u2018notification\u2019 and a \u2018permit\u2019 is the main cause of unnecessary delays.<\/p>\n

We process documents via the Unified State Electronic System for Construction and appeal against refusals by the State Inspectorate for Architecture and Urban Planning (DIAM).<\/p>\n

The complexity category determines everything<\/h2>\n

It determines which document you need, whether a project assessment is required, and how long the procedure will take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The category is not determined by the developer \u2018by eye\u2019, but by the designer \u2014 based on the property\u2019s characteristics. Under-classifying a property to take the easy way out results in the documents being revoked and the property being classified as unauthorised construction.<\/p>\n

What is required before submission<\/h2>\n

These are the first things to be checked, and they are the ones where people most often \u2018stumble\u2019:<\/p>\n

Right to the land plot.<\/strong> Ownership, lease, superficies \u2014 but the right must be registered. Construction without a right to the land cannot be authorised in principle.<\/p>\n

Intended use.<\/strong> A plot designated \u2018for horticulture\u2019 does not permit the construction of a residential building with registered residence. Sometimes you have to change the designated use first \u2014 and this is a separate procedure taking several months.<\/p>\n

Town planning conditions and restrictions (TPCs)<\/strong> \u2014 for developments where they are required. Issued by the town planning authority; a refusal can be appealed.<\/p>\n

Building passport<\/strong> \u2014 for individual developments, this is often the main document defining the parameters of the future house.<\/p>\n

Project documentation<\/strong>, and for SS2 and SS3 \u2014 also project expert review<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Technical supervision and designer supervision<\/strong> \u2014 mandatory for properties in the relevant categories.<\/p>\n
