Tourism Developments
Tourism developments, from the plot to the tourism use permit.
Rural tourism, hotels and tourist villages: feasibility, architectural design, engineering and municipal permitting, with a single point of contact.
04
The chosen typology sets the design requirements. It is the first decision to make, and it starts with the plot.
Feasibility
The PDM (municipal master plan), REN, RAN and easements define what is allowed and with which parameters. We choose the typology with you; LANDSCOPE answers in 48 hours or 5 working days.
Design and permitting
Architecture and engineering designs meeting the typology requirements, planning permission or prior notification with the municipality and, where worthwhile, a prior information request and the Turismo de Portugal opinion.
Construction
Detailed design and site assistance, checking that the construction matches the design.
Use permit
When the works are complete, the municipality is asked for the use permit for tourism purposes. The permit states the maximum capacity and the typology.
New build or rehabilitation
Country houses and agritourism start from existing buildings; a rural hotel can be built from scratch (RJET, art. 18).
Feasibility before you buy
We check the PDM and the constraints on the plot before you invest, to know which typology is possible.
One point of contact
Feasibility, design, engineering and the municipal process with the same team, from first sketch to completion.
