To formalise the reconstruction of the premises

Registration of the reconstruction of the premises

Reconstruction of premises is an important stage in the development of any real estate. Changing the functional purpose, redevelopment, completion or re-equipment of premises often allows not only to improve the operating conditions, but also to significantly increase the market value of the object. However, any reconstruction actions require mandatory legal registration in accordance with current legislation. Unauthorized work can lead to fines, litigation and even an obligation to return the object to its original state.
That is why it is important to know what stages need to be completed and why legal support is key to the successful and legal renovation of your premises.

Legal stages of registration of reconstruction of premises

Registration of reconstruction is a complex process that requires the sequential implementation of a number of steps:

• Initial legal consultation and analysis of the situation: The specialist studies the documents for the real estate object, checks its technical passport, ownership, intended purpose and reconstruction possibilities. Urban planning conditions, restrictions and zoning, if any, are also taken into account. Based on this data, a legal design strategy is formed.
• Obtaining urban planning conditions and restrictions (if necessary): If the reconstruction involves intervention in load-bearing structures, changing the parameters of the premises or functional purpose, it is necessary to obtain urban planning documentation. The lawyer helps to submit the application correctly and interacts with architectural authorities.
• Preparing project documentation: It is important to develop a reconstruction project in accordance with building codes. The lawyer monitors that the designer complies with legislative requirements, and also checks that the project complies with legal criteria, in particular for the subsequent commissioning of the facility.
• Submitting a notification of the start of construction work or obtaining a building permit (depending on the complexity of the work): In cases of minor changes, a notification is sufficient, however, for significant work, a permit is required. The lawyer determines which procedure is relevant in your case and submits the relevant documents to the State Architectural and Construction Inspectorate or the local control body.
• Legal support of construction works: During the reconstruction, a lawyer can monitor compliance with construction legislation, provide advice on concluding contracts with contractors, and communicate with inspections.
• Putting the reconstructed facility into operation: The final stage is submitting a declaration or obtaining a certificate of readiness. The lawyer ensures the legal purity of the registration, prepares documents, and accompanies the procedure. After the facility is put into operation, the data in the register and technical passport are updated.

Compliance with these stages is the foundation for legalizing the reconstruction and allows you to avoid many potential problems in the future.
