• • Building permit application
    
    

  • Unified Building Design Documentation (ÉTDR)
    A design package prepared by the responsible architect, including:

    • site plans,

    • floor plans,

    • sections,

    • elevations,

    • technical descriptions,

    • energy calculations, etc.

    By default, the structural engineering discipline provides written documentation.
    If required by the client, detailed structural plans and calculations can be requested as part of a separate contract clause.
    Normally, the structural solutions appear within the architectural documentation.
    An exception is the simplified notification procedure, which requires structural execution plans.

  • Property title deed (no older than 30 days)
    Proof of ownership (can be obtained from the TakarNet system).

  • Site plan and map extract
    Certified and up-to-date map excerpt from the land registry office.

  • Declarations from designers
    Statements verifying the authorization of the specialist designers.

  • Client’s declaration
    Confirmation that the property is owned or used by the applicant.

  • Neighbors’ consent (if required)
    For example, in cases where the project is close to adjacent buildings.

  • Utility statements
    From water, sewage, electricity, gas, telecommunications, fire protection service providers, etc.

  • Environmental, fire safety, heritage protection authority statements (if applicable)

  • Energy calculation (mandatory for new buildings)
    Confirms the building’s energy classification and compliance with regulations.

A structural engineering expert opinion is needed when an existing building is being renovated, extended, walls are being removed, or new loads are introduced. It is also often essential for official procedures, permits, or identifying construction defects.
