Architecture / Design in Dorohoi

About this service

Architectural design covers the path from idea to building permit: the design brief, the site study, the urban planning certificate, the technical documentation for authorisation (DTAC) with all disciplines — architecture, structure, building services —, the approvals required by the planning certificate, and later the detailed design and construction details. The documentation is signed by an architect with signature rights, registered with the Romanian Order of Architects, and by certified checking engineers for each discipline. Beyond new build, architects handle extensions, loft conversions, changes of use, retrospective authorisation, measured surveys and preliminary expert reports, as well as site supervision during construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between permit documentation and detailed design?

Permit documentation is the minimum needed to obtain the authorisation. The detailed design contains the construction details and quantities the building is actually built from, and against which comparable builder quotes are obtained.

Do I need a permit for an extension or loft conversion?

Yes, both change the built area or volume and require a building permit, hence full documentation. The exceptions are maintenance works that affect neither the structure nor the external appearance.

What does retrospective authorisation mean?

It is the procedure by which a building put up without a permit, or exceeding one, is documented through measured surveys and an expert report and, if it complies with planning rules, may be authorised afterwards. It is not guaranteed and depends on the specific case.

Does the architect also supervise construction?

They can, under a separate contract or as a distinct stage. Site supervision greatly reduces the risk of non-compliant work and improvised changes on site.

What documents do I need for the first meeting?

The title deed, the cadastral plan, the land registry extract, and the planning certificate if you already have one. With those, the architect can realistically say what can be built and what the design will cost.

Can a plot without utilities be designed for in Dorohoi?

Yes, but water, sewerage, and power solutions must be provided for in the design, and the connections may require additional approvals. It's worth knowing this before buying the land.
