Architecture / Design in Reșița

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 does building permit documentation contain?

Written and drawn material for the architecture, structural, and building services disciplines, signed by designers with signature rights, plus review by certified checkers and the approvals required by the planning certificate.

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.
