Architecture / Design in Poplaca

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.
