Architecture / Design in Runcu

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 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 Runcu?

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.

How much does a house design cost in Runcu?

Permit documentation for a detached house, with all disciplines, generally falls between 6,500 and 20,000 RON in Runcu, depending on size and complexity. The detailed design is quoted separately.

What is the planning certificate and where do I get it?

It is the document issued by the town hall stating what may be built on a plot — height regime, site coverage, floor area ratio, setbacks — and which approvals are required. The owner applies for it at the local town hall, and it is the first step, before any design work.
