About this service

The most expensive thing about a house isn't the design — it's the lack of one: changes made on site cost several times what the same decisions cost on paper. The architect starts from the planning certificate, which states exactly what can be built on the plot — height regime, site coverage, floor area ratio, setbacks — then proposes a solution and, once approved, coordinates the structural and services disciplines into a single coherent set of documents. The detailed design, with construction details and bills of quantities, is what lets you obtain comparable quotes from builders. On SmallJobs you can request offers from architects and design practices for houses, extensions, loft conversions, fit-outs, or permit documentation.

What to check before hiring a architecture / design

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does obtaining a building permit take?
Preparing the documentation usually takes 4-10 weeks, and approvals plus the town hall's review can add another 1-3 months. The timeline depends heavily on how many approvals the planning certificate calls for.
Does the architect need signature rights?
Yes. Permit documentation can only be signed by an architect with signature rights, registered with the Romanian Order of Architects. Ask for the registration number before signing the contract.
Can I use an off-the-shelf house design?
A standard design can be a starting point, but it has to be adapted to the plot, the planning certificate, and local foundation conditions, and that adaptation is also signed by a designer with signature rights.
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.
