Project preparation plan

· Municipality to confirm · To be decided

Intended area: — m² · Intended floors: —

☐ Ask for plot-specific planning rules — Permitted uses, height, floors, occupancy, construction ratios, setbacks and possible restrictions.

☐ Review ownership and the right to use the land — Compare registry documents and discuss restrictions with a professional.

☐ Ask about relevant licences and procedures — Discuss the project with the competent licensing or municipal authority; confirm what is required.

☐ Review environment, hazards and ground conditions — Ask about restrictions, the environmental authority and any technical studies needed.

☐ Confirm utilities, sanitation and access — Request availability from providers and verify legal and practical access to the plot.

☐ Prepare a complete budget — Include studies, design, procedures, site works, transport, connections and construction.

These tools organise your research. They do not verify ownership or determine whether you can build. Municipal responses, plot-specific documents and professional review are needed to make a decision.
