Quite often, a moment comes when it is necessary to make certain adjustments to the planning of existing real estate. In such cases, it will be necessary to obtain permission for reconstruction, followed by amendments to the cadastral and technical documentation.
What is permission?
All basic concepts and terms regarding the reconstruction of buildings and premises are spelled out in the Town Planning Code. First of all, the code interprets the term “reconstruction” as complex work, the main purpose of which is to amend the existing technical parameters of the capital construction.
Reconstruction permit is a document on the basis of which it is allowed to carry out certain construction works. In the future, if such paper is on hand, then there will be no problems legitimizing the work done or improving it.
Do not confuse two concepts: redevelopment and reconstruction. In the first case, it is understood that work will be carried out indoors without affecting the design features of the room. If we are talking about reconstruction, it means that work will be done to increase the area, changes will be made to the capital walls, the premises will be completed, and so on. Perhaps due to construction work, the functional purpose will be changed. For example, previously there was a warehouse, and after reconstruction - a residential building and so on.
Major repairs are also not considered as reconstruction. Overhaul means the replacement of obsolete parts of the housing: roof, foundation, walls, facade. However, it is impossible to change the footage, room capacity and number of storeys of the building.
What kind of work is permissible?
The permission for the reconstruction of the facility gives the right to carry out the following construction works:
- change the number of storeys of the entire building, both in the direction of decreasing and increasing;
- equip the mezzanine floor;
- rebuild the attic and attic floor, basement;
- make extensions to the building;
- reinforce existing structures;
- establish new communications.
The main thing is that the work be agreed with all regulatory authorities. Otherwise, after the construction work is declared unlawful, such owner of real estate is threatened with penalties.
Who issues permission and how to prepare for submitting documents?
Reconstruction permits are issued by the executive committee of the city or village council. But, before the document is issued, you will have to go through a series of procedures and contact many authorities.
The first step is the collection of primary documents
First you should contact the BTI and get a copy of the technical plan. This document should display information about the openings, facade and general layout of the room. In cases where it is planned to change the entrance position, you will have to make a general plan for improvement, which should be accompanied by drawings of architectural details of the facade of the building.
It is also necessary to obtain the consent of all owners of the capital construction for the reconstruction.
The second step is to draft and obtain approvals.
Preparation of design documentation. Then you will have to coordinate the project in all authorized services: fire inspection, sanitary and epidemiological station, utilities, local architecture department.
The third step is an examination
Then you should apply to the state examination and get a positive opinion for the acquisition of a permit for the construction or reconstruction of real estate. If it is supposed to carry out work with a deviation from the limiting parameters, then you will have to get permission for this as well.
The fourth step is to submit documents to the executive body
After obtaining all the necessary permits for the completed project, you can submit documents to the executive committee, which has only 10 days to consider the application.
In addition to the above permissions from all services and the project, you must attach:
- title documents for real estate, including land;
- copies of identification documents of the applicant (for a legal entity - legal documents of the enterprise);
- floor plan of the building;
- topographic plan indicating the location of the reconstruction object;
- if we are talking about an apartment building, you will have to make the consent of all owners of other apartments.
The application is in free form, it is possible that in some regions there is a sample application for obtaining permission for reconstruction, which can be filled directly at the place of application. This service is provided free of charge.
It is necessary to clarify with the local administration: perhaps some copies will have to be certified by a notary, as a rule, these are title documents for real estate.
In most regions of Russia, applications and documents for obtaining permission for reconstruction are accepted through a multifunctional center.
What's next?
Naturally, further it is possible to carry out all the works provided for by the project documentation, as well as those for which permission was obtained. However, the procedure does not end there. Upon completion of work, it is necessary to commission the facility.
Permission to put into operation the reconstructed building or premises is issued by the same body that issued the permit for reconstruction - the executive committee of the local government, naturally, if all the requirements of the design documentation are met. He has the right to go to the facility, check construction work. Only 10 calendar days are allotted for the entire procedure.
After obtaining permission for commissioning, you must contact the BTI, redo the passport and floor plan. Then, in the territorial office of the cadastre and cartography submit documents for registration.
What should be remembered?
After obtaining permission for the reconstruction of the house, you should very carefully and carefully approach the choice of a contractor construction organization. Such a company must have a valid license for construction work. Often there are situations when, after reconstruction, the administration of the local council, during a check at the facility, identifies violations and inconsistencies in the actual work of the project documentation. In this case, the owner of the real estate and the contractor will be obliged to return the property to its original form. Violations can be detected during the inventory by the BTI.
If permission is not obtained, then if you want to sell such a property, the owner will definitely have problems. Indeed, in the process of carrying out a property transaction, it will be necessary to take an inventory, in which changes in the building or premises will certainly be revealed in comparison with the original form. Therefore, it is not recommended to depart from the letter of the law and go through the entire procedure for obtaining permits in full.
