Redevelopment is always long, difficult and responsible. And often, experts recommend, before buying an apartment, hoping in advance to do redevelopment in it, to draw up a rough budget of work: maybe it will be cheaper and more expedient to buy an apartment of exactly the same layout as you need?

However, cases of redevelopment of old housing are not uncommon. An inherited apartment, for example, may not fit the needs of a new family at all. In this case, capital work is inevitable. But how is it possible to at least slightly reduce the cost of this painful procedure? After all, redevelopment is not a simple redecoration, you can’t do it just by consulting a decorator.

Today, it’s not uncommon when the owners prefer to independently draw up a redevelopment project in order to avoid additional expenses on the one hand, and on the other, to take into account all the little things that characterize their individual lifestyle to the maximum.

Redevelopment of your own home

Before you think about self-redevelopment, you should still consider all the possible difficulties and features of this work. So, for example, first of all, you should familiarize yourself with the necessary procedure for approving the project and the standards for carrying out repair work related to it. Suppose, in a multi-storey building, it may not be possible to construct doorways or somehow penetrate the load-bearing walls, especially if your apartment is located on the lower floors. These special requirements can significantly affect the final result of a redevelopment.

How to make a redevelopment project at home?

In order for your project to be possible and not to be rejected at the approval stage, as well as in order to avoid future troubles with fines or even with the integrity of your home, some kind of research should be done: get the original building design, measure the premises, the thickness and properties of walls and ceilings, correlate the expectations of the aesthetic order with real need, and the like. Let's start in order.

1. Find the original floor plan, or take measurements

More than useful may be the original plan of the house and apartment. From here you will learn the exact measurements of the rooms, and the location of the bearing walls, communications and ventilation shafts in the house. This document can be provided to you by the developer or architect, as well as building maintenance services, such as the Housing Office. If there is no opportunity to get an original project for one reason or another, you will have to take measurements on your own and establish the location of the structural elements of the house.

2. Permission for redevelopment

The first thing to do is decide what the apartments will be. The scope and properties of the planned changes will determine the path for reconfiguration.

Today, there are three options for such coordination: by notification, on the redevelopment project and on the redevelopment project and the technical report. The option of redevelopment in a notification manner may be acceptable if the supporting structures of the house, the construction of floors, as well as utilities are not affected. With this option, they will not require documents from you, and you will not have to wait for permission before starting work. It will only be necessary to make a sketch of the redevelopment on a copy of the floor plan of the apartment after the repair is completed and submit it with the application to the local housing inspection.

Both other options: redevelopment with project development and redevelopment with project development and technical conclusion from the author of the project at home - it is possible to develop exclusively to special design organizations with SRO approval. They are provided for those cases when it is planned to change the construction of floors and utilities or affect the supporting structures of the building. In these cases, your project may be substantially adjusted by special organizations.

3. Decide which rooms should be expanded and due to what

Usually, redevelopment consists of a structurally insignificant but handy change in the angles of the walls and partitions, some expansion of the living area or an increase in the number of rooms. There are several important principles, mainly related to the mandatory location of communications.

So, for example, the “wet” areas of the kitchen or bathroom can be expanded due to non-residential premises: corridors, storage rooms, and can also be completely transferred to their area. It is important here that the stove, sink or bathroom does not appear above the living area of \u200b\u200bthe apartment below you. In the kitchen, a window illuminating the work area must be provided, and this must be taken into account when redeveloping it. In addition, it is impossible to plan the entrance to the bathroom from yes, and from the living room it is possible only if the apartment has another toilet or bathroom with an entrance from the corridor.

In a one-room apartment, it is impossible to combine a living room with a kitchen if a gas stove is installed. At the same time, in a multi-room apartment it is quite possible to transfer the kitchen with stove to the non-residential area and combine them with one of the rooms. The main thing is that gas pipes go through non-residential premises.

Living space cannot be increased due to the kitchen or bathroom. In addition, you cannot completely attach a loggia or a balcony to the room, as this changes the thermal contour of the house. A dividing wall with a door must be provided here. Plus, you will almost certainly be rejected by the project for demolishing the window sill of the balcony. It is part of the supporting structure and its absence can lead to the collapse of the balcony.

4. Doors and partitions

It is clear that the bearing walls cannot only be demolished, but also shortened in any way. It is possible, and even then not in any case, to make an opening about 90 cm wide with mandatory reinforcement. To do this, you will definitely have to order an engineering calculation from the developers of the house or design organization. Yes, and such a procedure is not cheap. To avoid unnecessary expenses (for example, if the project is refused to be approved), you can first assess the chances of a positive decision. So, if the apartment is located at the bottom of the house or in apartments above or below you have already made an opening in this wall, then most likely you cannot make an opening.

5. Reorganization of spaces

One of the low-cost and effective ways to redevelop the apartment is to reorganize the premises. For example, a balcony or a loggia after warming can become a full-fledged study, and a pantry - a working room.

However, it must be remembered that some restrictions on the freedom of reorganization of spaces result from the requirements for the bathroom and kitchen areas. Namely: these zones cannot exchange places. So, the kitchen, for example, cannot be located under someone else's bathroom.

And yet there are slight exceptions. For example, if your apartment is located on the ground floor, the bathroom here can be located anywhere, and the kitchen - everywhere except the bathroom. And if you live under a roof, then the kitchen can be placed in the bathroom, but the bathroom in the kitchen is not.

6. Zoning of the apartment

If you are engaged in the “retraining” of rooms, the first thing you need to start with is to divide the apartment into two fundamentally different zones: “public” or “noisy” (kitchen, living room and hallway) and “private” or “quiet” (bedrooms, children and office).

Naturally, the quiet area should be somewhat distant from the living room, as far as possible from the entrance to the apartment. It is good if the passage to the “quiet” rooms is through a separate corridor. It is also advisable that the bathroom is not far from these rooms. Given the existence in the project of the apartment of the opportunity for equipping two bathrooms, you can provide for the entrance to one of them from the bedroom.

As for the “noisy” area, then it is worth providing enough storage space: a wardrobe, a place for shoes, clean and dirty. If the family has a small child, it is useful to provide space for strollers. It is advisable not to make the entrance hall to avoid the dirt in the apartment. In addition, it is convenient to arrange a direct passage to the kitchen from the entrance to the apartment: so you do not have to carry shopping bags and garbage bags through the entire apartment.

You need to understand that the redevelopment project, which the landlord himself is able to draw up and approve, involves a minimal change in the geometry of the apartment. If you plan to radically redraw your house, you will have to turn to. And there is a significant advantage: a professional will be able to warn you in advance of inconvenient or non-functional solutions, as well as take into account, along with your wishes, the design features of your home, as a result of which it will be much easier to draw up a project that suits you and is feasible in practice.

Apartment redevelopment project: what, where, when?   You will receive answers to these questions by reading the provided article.

The redevelopment project of an apartment is specially prepared documents with all the detailed changes that you plan to implement. They cannot be developed independently. This is done by specialized companies. They must have the permission of the SRO, which gives the right to such work.

In the new plan for the redevelopment of the apartment, these companies note all the modifications that should occur upon completion of construction work. This takes into account the uniqueness of engineering structures and building communications.

Very often plans are created with the help of a technical opinion on possible redevelopments. This document is especially relevant if a decision is made to affect load-bearing structures.

Throughout Russia, design and construction documentation is compiled in accordance with GOST 21.101-97 and 21.501-93. The requirements for the composition of the necessary package of documents for redevelopment are additionally spelled out in the third Appendix to the Resolution of the Government of Moscow No. 508.

When is it necessary to agree on the redevelopment of an apartment for a project?

• When loggias, balconies, terraces are built or liquidated on the first floors. In this case, there is no combination of data from unheated rooms with heated.
• When changing the configuration of external structures or the material from which they were made. For example, you decide to replace wooden windows with plastic or glaze your balcony.
• When installing any external technical equipment that violates the original appearance of a residential building. For example, satellite dishes, antennas, air conditioners, protective nets, etc.
• When installing balconies or loggias.
• When changing the configuration of the vestibules or their complete elimination.
• When additional entrances and exits are created (for example, to the first floor from the outside of the house or additional descents to the basements and to the basement floors) with a porch device. But at the same time occupation of an additional site does not occur.
• If the owner of the apartment creates, removes or changes the configuration of door and window openings in external structures, that is, the roof and walls. At the same time, structures and walls are preserved that isolated the loggias and balconies from the interior rooms.
• When modifying the design and configuration of the floor. It provides work that would affect the load of the bearing walls. For example, you used to have wooden floors, but you want to replace them with concrete.
• When there is an increase in the load on the supporting structures due to the establishment of additional partitions or walls. In this case, lightweight structures made of foam blocks or drywall are not the cause of the increase in loads.
• When additional stairs or entire stairwells are installed inside the housing.
• When there is a union of two neighboring apartments vertically, that is, one apartment is located under the other on different floors. In this case, it is necessary to punch the passage in the "half-ceiling" supporting structure.
• With the partial elimination of the load-bearing wall or the construction of an opening for entry in it. It is impossible and forbidden to completely eliminate the load-bearing wall, as this will affect the overall structural strength of the entire house. In this case, the combination of two neighboring apartments on the same floor horizontally is included, when you need to make an entrance to the load-bearing wall.
• When replacing or installing additional equipment in the bathroom, which significantly increases energy consumption and water consumption. It can be a special washstand or bidet. Also to this case include the laying of additional communications.
• When is a gas stove replaced with an electric one. In addition, it is necessary to attract local gas service employees to carry out the dismantling of gas equipment and write out a certificate on “Dismantling gas equipment”.
• When moving kitchens, toilets or bathrooms to other rooms that were previously not suitable for this. This includes the transfer of any plumbing equipment or its exit abroad. In this case, it is also necessary to coordinate all the nuances of the project.

What documents are needed for redevelopment of an apartment for a project?

Redevelopment is always a complex and long process. And the main difficulty is not so much in carrying out construction and repair work as in collecting the necessary documents and agreeing on a redevelopment plan.

For the work to be authorized by local authorities, a bunch of certificates and permits must be collected. As a rule, the list of these permissions depends on the type of specific work.

For example, here is a list of documents that you will need if you decide to expand the bathroom to include the adjacent corridor area, but all the technical equipment falls outside the bathroom area.

1. Application for permission to conduct redevelopment work.
2. A developed redevelopment project with a technical conclusion or a technical conclusion on the safety and admissibility of work on a previous redevelopment (in the case when the apartment owners have already completed the work and want to formalize the redevelopment).
3. Explication of housing before all work and a phased work plan.
4.   to the apartment. It can be obtained at the BTI.
5. Documents that would confirm your right to own this housing. This may be a certificate of ownership, if the apartment was purchased by you or a lease and rental agreement, if the housing is rented. But at the same time, there must be a written permission to conduct work from the owner of the apartment.
6. You can also provide with a copy of the financial personal account.

Additional documents that may be required:

• Coordination with the center of state sanitary and epidemiological surveillance (TsGSEN);
• An agreement with a construction company that will carry out all work and a copy of the license of this company;
• Acts that would confirm the conduct of covert work;
• The written consent of the majority of residents who are registered in this apartment;
• If the apartment was purchased on a mortgage, then an additional permission is required from the bank that provided the mortgage loan, for permission to carry out these works in writing;
• Certificate from the local gas service, if the work involves the replacement of gas equipment.

Composition and example of an apartment redevelopment project

Each plan or project for redevelopment of an apartment should include the following documents:

The cost of the project redevelopment of the apartment

The price is calculated from the area of \u200b\u200bthe apartment and its subsequent application. For example, the cost of creating a project for small apartments will be higher than for large ones.

In addition, the design of a plan for a restaurant or a store will be much higher than a similar plan for a living room or premises with a free appointment. This is due to the complexity of developing redevelopment plans.

Where to order an apartment redevelopment project?

Similar plans are developed in special engineering and construction companies. It is forbidden to develop such plans on your own, as this can lead to sad consequences.

Since many houses are built according to the standard plan, in these offices there are already developments for standard redevelopment. You just have to choose the option that best meets your requirements. The cost of this work will depend on the complexity of the project and the area of \u200b\u200bhousing.

What is the procedure for redevelopment of an apartment?

Redevelopment is not easy. It takes a lot of time, effort and money. You can collect documents yourself, you can contact construction offices that will do this for you. It will come out more expensive, but much faster.

There must be a redevelopment plan. Without it, things will not get off the ground. And a positive decision from the authorities.

The procedure for coordinating the redevelopment of an apartment:

• Determination of the type of house;
• Development of a plan;
• Certificate from BTI, where the nature of the work is indicated;
• Certificate from SES;
• Written permission from the nearest neighbors;
• If the apartment is not owned, then a written permission from the owner;
• Submission of collected documents.

When visiting the appropriate authorities, you need to have:

1. Redevelopment project;
2. Registration certificate;
3. Application for permission to work;
4. Permission from the conservation authorities of architectural monuments;
5. References from SES and ZhEK;
6. Documents confirming ownership;
7. Additional documents that may be needed (see above).

You must be notified in writing of the commission’s decision within three days after the decision is made. In total, 45 days are given to consider your application. Refusal to redevelop may be associated with violations of safety procedures or lack of documents. The decision can be appealed in court.

Repair in the modern world is rarely limited to an elementary change in wallpaper and flooring. For many months they have been looking for a highly qualified designer, looking for a construction company, then carefully choosing materials, but this is not limited to this.

Most people now want to improve their own housing conditions by remodeling the apartment. However, not many of them are aware of the existence of certain nuances that will eliminate problems in the future.

What work can be done without agreement?

First of all, in order to avoid problems, it is necessary to coordinate the work in the appropriate bodies. Experts say that in order to find out whether it is necessary to do this in a particular case, it is worth knowing and understanding what exactly will need to be done to redevelop the apartment.

In the legislation there is such a type of work as the re-equipment of toilets, bathrooms, work with plumbing, heating equipment.

Remodeling also includes the dismantling of partitions, as well as their transfer, disassembly of door openings, re-equipment of vestibules.

Such works as glazing balconies, combining a toilet with a bathroom, dismantling built-in mezzanines, cabinets, storage rooms, and eliminating non-capital walls do not require legalization. According to the legislation, such work should simply order a new technical passport.

The most common redevelopments are the combination of two apartments on the same floor, the attic to the apartment, the integration of the room with a loggia, the installation of doorways. It is these types of work that require legalization, by obtaining special permits for construction work.

There are also types of redevelopment for which they do not issue a permit, for example, such works as: removing batteries to the balcony or to the loggia, which is combined with the living room, or installing a kitchen, bathroom or toilet directly under the living rooms.

Is it obligatory to order an apartment redevelopment project?

Until December 1, 2011, the law was in force, according to which absolutely all redevelopment was divided into three main types:

1. Redevelopment, coordinated by sketch;
2. Redevelopment, coordinated by the project;
3. Redevelopments that are not allowed for approval.

At the moment, according to current legislation, permission must be obtained only for such redevelopments that can in any way affect the safety of people in the house. In such cases, an apartment redevelopment project is necessary. You can also choose one of the previously developed projects, samples of which are on the official website of the main authority (in Moscow - Moszhilinspektsiya).

However, the list of jobs that could be dangerous for people has also changed. It should be noted that such works include the installation of openings in load-bearing walls, the conversion of floors and many others. That is why, now for almost any type of redevelopment, except for those indicated earlier, approval is required on the project of redevelopment of the apartment.

At first glance it might seem, but what actually changes if you just change the flooring without affecting the screed, waterproofing or soundproofing?

The same question also concerns the demolition of partitions, their construction. Or, why is it necessary to order an entire redevelopment project for an apartment if you just change the location of the bathroom and the washbasin? And if you combine the bathroom with the toilet? What, in fact, change?

However, in higher bodies you will certainly find answers to all questions. So before you start anything, it is best to consult with a higher authority.

Apartment redevelopment project

So, in order to make changes to the plan of the apartment you will need a special redevelopment project. A redevelopment project is a document that specialists of an enterprise, or a company that has the appropriate clearance, are entitled to draw up.

This document contains information that displays all the changes regarding the old layout including structural elements and utilities.

Also, the project of redevelopment of an apartment removes absolutely all responsibility (legal or other) from the owner of the apartment, since after designing it passes to the design company, namely the engineer and architect.

Each company will definitely provide you with a sample project for redevelopment of an apartment.

You have the right to choose a project according to one of the finished samples, or offer your own option. Viewing redevelopment patterns will help you see how your living space can change, expand after redevelopment.

For example, due to part of the corridor, you can expand the living room, mount a partition, and divide one large room into two small ones, eliminating the load-bearing wall between the small room and the corridor, you can get a spacious bedroom or living room.

Thus, you can more rationally and functionally use your own living space.

What does the apartment redevelopment project contain?

First of all, the project contains an explanatory note on technological, constructive solutions, on internal engineering equipment. Also, the project includes:
  - fire fighting measures;
  - architectural planning solution;
  - plans for the placement of plumbing fixtures, including pipe wiring;
  - floor plan with the conversion of internal communications;
  - a scheme of arranged waterproofing;
  - gain amplification scheme.

These are the main components of the apartment redevelopment project, however, sometimes the project also includes drawings of units and details of structural solutions, calculations, explication of floors and so on.

How to draw up an apartment redevelopment project?

In order to get a project for a start you should choose a project organization. It is necessary to approach this issue very responsibly, as different companies can offer different types of services for the same price.

This also applies to the situation when you find a company that provides services at a relatively low price, most likely that the list of services will also differ significantly.

To order an apartment redevelopment project, you will need to have a floor plan with you, a sketch of the desired redevelopment, a technical report on the condition of the supporting structures of the entire building, as well as the possibility of redevelopment.

Specialists will be able to clarify all other necessary data upon departure to a specific object. After the project is ready, you must contact the district administration to obtain permission for construction work.

If you live in Moscow, then this issue is not dealt with by the district administration, but by the Moscow Housing Inspectorate. This authority has branches in almost every urban district.

Estimated timelines for the development of a redevelopment project

The timing of the production of the redevelopment project depends, first of all, on the complexity of the work and the initial area of \u200b\u200bthe room. Most often, for simple redevelopments, the project is prepared for three to five days. For larger, non-standard ideas, the preparation of a redevelopment project can take about a month, and in especially difficult cases, up to six months.

In addition, the terms directly affected by the price of services provided by specialized companies. Remember that regardless of the conditions and terms, all responsibility for the safety of the finished premises will fall on the shoulders of the design organization, if the construction is carried out according to the project.

What documents need to be prepared?

In order to obtain permission from the district administration, in addition to the redevelopment project, it is also necessary to collect a certain package of documents. First, a technical conclusion is required. It is a document that is necessary for supervisory authorities. The survey includes verification of structures and utilities, and allows you to get a positive decision on the redevelopment of the premises.

You will need a new technical passport of the apartment. To do this, you should contact the Bureau of Technical Inventory (BTI), write a statement. A sample application for redevelopment of an apartment can be found on the website of the Moscow Housing Inspection.

Next, you need to expect a technician who will conduct an inspection of the room at the appointed time, and then fix its layout for the current moment. Only after that, you will be called again to the bureau of technical inventory to issue a new technical passport.

Documents on the right of ownership will also be necessary, such as an agreement and a certificate of reason, an extract from the house book about the persons who are registered in the apartment, permission of all adult residents to redevelop.

How much is legalizing the redevelopment of your own apartment?

This question is perhaps one of the most important for people who are trying to make their own living conditions more comfortable. At the same time, the design of complex modernizations is likely to take about six months of vigorous activity (obtaining documents, as well as waiting for decisions from the relevant authorities). If you choose more standard projects with simpler permutations, legalization will cost about 30 - 50 thousand rubles.

But in the modern world, standard projects of the State Unitary Enterprise MNIITEP are few who are satisfied. That is why most people all the same choose to develop an individual project for redevelopment of the room. Thus, the amount of costs of course increases. In addition to the general construction budget, it will be necessary to add about 40-70 thousand rubles for the direct development of an individual plan. The average price in Russia is as follows:

1. A project without technical specifications will cost you from 50 to 100 thousand rubles;
2. Coordination of the project with a conclusion from the designer will cost from 80 to 200 thousand rubles;
3. Permission for reconstruction without violation of the bearing walls from 90 thousand rubles;
4. A project with partial modifications of load-bearing elements of about 200 thousand rubles.

The project is ready, the permission of the administration has been issued, can you safely proceed with the construction work?

Proceed, of course, you can. However, the redevelopment process unfortunately does not end there. During the repair, you need, depending on the complexity, to keep a special log of construction works, which will be issued to you by the district administration or the Moscow Housing Inspection. After the completion of construction work and repair, you will need to contact the district administration (Moscow Housing Inspection) without fail to ensure that the redevelopment is fixed.

After a message about the completion of the repair, a commission will come to you with a check. They will check the compliance of the work carried out with what was displayed in the project, and if they find any deviations, they are entitled to a complete cancellation of the permit.

However, if these deviations are small, they can accept them within the framework of the agreed project. Only after that you will be issued an act of completed redevelopment and the process will be fully completed.

Many apartments have a not very convenient layout. This is especially true of houses built in the 60–80s. Construction companies often redevelop them. If the company is serious, then it acts within the framework.

When a person wants to make a conversion on his own, he must receive a permit. Coordination with the competent authorities is a prerequisite for changing the configuration of the premises.

Before obtaining permission, a draft redevelopment of the living space must be prepared. It notes all the changes that are planned to be made to the appearance of the apartment.

Why is it necessary

General requirements

Many owners replace the concept of a redevelopment project with a design project. Both documents reflect changes made to the room configuration.

However, design development cannot be considered by the competent authorities when issuing permits for redevelopment. Only the reconstruction project, which is provided to the Housing Inspectorate, has legal force.

The institution makes certain requirements for the project. Coordination of work related to engineering systems that support the walls of the house is carried out without fail on the basis of project documentation.

The main requirement that is presented to the plan of future work is its order only from companies that have a license for this type of work. They must prepare a project taking into account sanitary, construction and fire safety standards.

In some cases, it is enough to prepare a sketch. To find out what type of document is needed in a particular situation, you need to visit the Housing Inspectorate and consult with a specialist. Also, organizations that are involved in the development of projects can advise the institution.

How to implement a redevelopment project

Package of documents

The main document that is required to agree on a redevelopment is the project. It is prepared by specialized companies that are part of the SRO of designers and have access to work. You can independently prepare a project. But to coordinate it in the Housing Inspectorate is unlikely to succeed. In addition, the person must have access to the SRO in order to develop project documentation.

No documents are required at the Housing Inspectorate for project approval. It is important to prepare the perestroika plan itself and back it up with a statement.

The project consists of several points:

1. The title of the document is written on the title page. Next is the content that describes the sections and their corresponding pages.
2. The project manager should note that the decisions are legal and comply with the standards of documents in the field of drafting.
3. The explanatory note lists the technical characteristics of the living space, in which it is planned to carry out a redevelopment.
4. To carry out work, there must be admission to the SRO, which is attached to the project.
5. Be sure to attach a plan of the location of the room and its photo.
6. The most voluminous part is the graphic section, which reflects the changes and the type of apartment at the moment.

To carry out the reorganization, you need to submit an application, which is prepared in the prescribed form on the form issued by the MFC, and the specialist also provides a sample of filling

The statement reflects the main points considered by the Housing Inspectorate:

1. The first column provides complete information about the owner or tenant with personal, passport, contact details and address of residence.
2. If the application is filled out by the representative, then the details of the power of attorney are indicated.
3. Be sure to accurately register the address of the premises and the data of the owner.
4. The owner must request a redevelopment.
5. The following are the grounds for starting repair work (typical or individual project).
6. When living in a room under a social contract of employment, it is required to indicate that registered persons agree to the reorganization.

Sample preparation

To make a redevelopment project, you need to focus on the mandatory points that the document includes:

• The general data provides drawings, documents and the oath of the ISU.
• An explanatory note is required to clarify the changes and confirm their need.
• Be sure to show in what condition the living room is at the moment. In this section, you need to focus on the BTI plan.
• A plan is prepared separately with all the changes made.
• When converting floors, an explication of the floor is attached.
• Changes in the waterproofing system are prescribed during the reconstruction of the bathroom and the bathroom.
• It should be noted the work carried out on the re-equipment of engineering systems.
• When affecting the supporting structures, the need for their strengthening is noted.
• If you plan to move the kitchen or expand the bathroom, prepare work on water supply and sewage.
• When the facade of a building changes, then you need to provide the images “before” and “after”.
• In the case of installing noise sources, acoustic calculation is included in the project.
• When making changes to the ventilation system, this must be indicated in the design.

Design development

When planning the conversion of an apartment, you need to prepare its design. The project can be developed by specialists in this field.

The document includes:

• layout options;
• shades used;
• zoning;
• arrangement of furniture.

Paper, issued by design specialists, is necessary only for the owner to choose the option of redevelopment. It is not a project, therefore, it cannot be submitted to the Housing Inspectorate upon approval of the conversion.

If the work will be carried out on a project that is prepared in violation of the law, then the risk of emergency situations increases. They worsen the living conditions of the owner and neighbors, as well as violate the safety of people.

In order not to encounter such problems, the development of a design project should be carried out by qualified specialists. Before starting repairs, it is worth checking whether all the changes really have legitimate reasons.

Do I need to agree

Not all types of work need to be coordinated with the Housing Inspectorate. Cosmetic repairs are allowed to carry out on their own.

If the work involves partitions that are not bearing, while the area of \u200b\u200bthe living space does not change, then you do not need to prepare a project. However, it will be necessary to notify the Housing Inspectorate, confirming the safety of work and the absence of changes in the construction of the building.

Allocate a list of works that must be agreed with the competent authorities. In most cases, they relate to changes in load-bearing structures, which poses a threat to property, life and health of people.

These include:

• changes in bathrooms with laying additional networks;
• installation of gas appliances with installation of additional pipelines;
• replacement of gas equipment with electrical;
• changing the integrity of the bearing walls by creating openings in them;
• bath and toilet transfer;
• creating partitions that create an increased load on the floors;
• installation of partitions in houses with wooden floors.

Service cost

The cost of preparing a project may vary depending on the type of changes being made and the complexity of the plan.

Also, the price varies during the redevelopment, affecting the residential and non-residential premises:

Preparation Details

In order to complete the project, you need to know the type of living space. After all, each of them has some features. Therefore, experts prepare plans based on the number of rooms and the purpose of the property.

Apartment

An important point is that the appearance of the apartments must fully coincide with the planned redevelopment according to the scheme. In this case, a typical redevelopment does not give the full right to carry out repairs without approval. Many of the conversion works listed in the catalog also require permission.

A typical redevelopment should be submitted to the Housing Inspectorate prior to commencement of work, and not at the time of the conversion. Otherwise, the owner may be held liable for illegal actions.

Technical review

In addition to the redevelopment project, the owner must receive a technical document, which is a conclusion on the admissibility and safety of the work. The conclusion indicates the state of building structures and the possibility of work in accordance with the project.

To prepare a document, the designer needs to inspect:

• overlappings;
• bearing walls;
• columns;
• pylons.

After that, he gives an assessment of the possibility of making changes. If the structures are in satisfactory condition, redevelopment can be carried out. Otherwise, you can replace them.

When the redevelopment has already been carried out, but it has not been agreed upon, a technical report is also made. It is necessary in order to save previously made changes.

The redevelopment project is an important stage of approval. The decision of the Housing Inspectorate depends on how correctly the document is executed. Therefore, he needs to pay special attention.
