Legalize the redevelopment

Each of us has dreams of an ideal home – spacious, functional and cozy. However, realizing these dreams, we often face the issue of legalizing the redevelopment of premises. Is this allowed by law? What steps should be taken to ensure the legal purity of our changes in living space?

What can and cannot be done when re-planning the premises?

Replanning of premises is a serious procedure that requires careful study of local building regulations and rules. This is also related to the observance of prohibitions on changing the structure of the building, which may violate the safety of life and health of people.

You can:

• Consolidate or expand premises by removing internal walls.
• Change the placement of doors and windows subject to compliance with fire and building safety requirements.
• Install new plumbing and electrical networks according to relevant standards and regulations.
• Move kitchen, bathroom, toilet and other sanitary units.

Can not:

• Disrupt load-bearing walls without design and permits from the relevant authorities.
• Carry out redevelopment, which leads to violation of established norms regarding the number of exit doors, fire safety, etc.
• Make any changes without taking into account the legal status of the building and local zoning requirements.
• Use unsuitable materials or equipment, which may pose a threat to life and health safety.
• Disrupt ventilation channels, etc

Our legal expert can provide a complete list of permitted and prohibited types of work during the redevelopment of the premises, taking into account your specific tasks and questions.

Why legalize redevelopment?

Legalization of redevelopment is not only about ensuring your own safety and comfort, but also about preventing possible legal problems in the future. Legalization of changes in the living space allows you to avoid fines and other troubles that may arise due to violations of building regulations.
