Frequently
asked questions

They are distinct procedural routes under the RJUE: planning permission involves assessment and express approval by the municipality; prior notification is faster, when the operation fully complies with the applicable rules. The right choice depends on the case.
Many interior works are exempt from prior control or subject only to notification — it depends on the scope of the works and the building. We check before starting, to avoid future problems.
It varies greatly from municipality to municipality and with the complexity of the case. What is on our side — a complete application and quick responses to notifications — we always deliver; and we tell you from the start what to expect.
It is the document certifying that the completed works conform to the approved design and can be used — required to inhabit, sell or rent. We handle the application at the end of the works.
Yes. We analyse the status of the existing construction and prepare the appropriate legalisation process.
Why the studio

A single point of contact

From the preliminary study to the delivery of the works, you always speak with whoever designed the project.

Fewer errors, fewer overruns

The BIM model eliminates incompatibilities before construction begins — deadlines met, budgets respected.

Real knowledge of the municipalities

86 projects across 16 municipalities. We know each council's practice — and that shortens permitting.

BIM methodology

All the studio's services are developed in BIM (Building Information Modeling): the building is built virtually before the works — fewer errors, controlled costs and better-informed decisions.
