Obtain a development plan and development intentions with legal support

Legal Support for Drafting Building Schemes and Intentions in Ukraine

Drafting building schemes and intentions is a critical step for the legal construction of individual residential houses, garden, or dacha structures up to 500 m². These documents define the placement of objects on a land plot, their parameters, and compliance with urban planning and land regulations. The Consultant legal marketplace offers professional assistance in preparing building schemes, intention sketches, and permit documentation, ensuring prompt processing and compliance with legal requirements. Our specialists will help you avoid refusals from urban planning authorities and start construction without delays.

Preparation of a Land Plot Building Scheme

A land plot building scheme is the primary document that outlines the placement of buildings, structures, utility networks, and landscaping elements. It is required for obtaining a construction passport or a notification of construction work commencement, especially under simplified wartime regulations. The preparation process includes the following steps:

1. Collecting Initial Data: Obtaining a topographic-geodetic plan of the plot (scale 1:500), an extract from the State Land Cadastre, and information on restrictions.
2. Scheme Development: Drafting a sketch by a certified architect or engineer-designer, indicating the location of the house, auxiliary structures, distances to plot boundaries, and neighboring objects.
3. Approval by Authorities: Submitting the scheme to the local urban planning and architecture authority via an Administrative Service Center (CNA) or the “Diia” portal.
4. Registration in EDECCB: Entering the scheme into the Unified State Electronic System in the Construction Sector with a unique number assignment.

Our lawyers provide support at all stages, verify the scheme’s compliance with state building codes (DBN), and help avoid refusals due to documentation errors.

Drafting an Intention Sketch for Construction

An intention sketch for construction is a graphic and textual document that reflects the land plot’s development plan, including facades, floor plans, utility network placements, and restrictions. Since 2022, under amendments to Ministry Order No. 103 of 05.07.2011, the intention sketch can replace the construction passport in certain cases, particularly during wartime. Key aspects of drafting include:

1. Topographic Basis: Using an up-to-date topographic-geodetic plan for accurate object placement.
2. Accounting for Restrictions: Checking for protected zones, red lines, and regime-forming cultural heritage objects.
3. Technical Specifications: Specifying building dimensions and engineering systems (water supply, sewage, electricity).
4. Certified Executor: Drafting the sketch exclusively by an architect or engineer with a qualification certificate.

Consultant’s specialists collaborate with certified designers to ensure rapid sketch preparation and compliance with legal requirements, avoiding delays in obtaining permits.

Legal Assistance in Obtaining Construction Permits

Legal assistance in preparing building schemes and obtaining permits significantly simplifies the construction start process. Without proper support, property owners may face issues such as:

• Incorrectly drafted schemes or sketches leading to construction passport refusals.
• Non-compliance of construction intentions with the land’s designated purpose or urban planning documentation.
• Missed deadlines for document submission due to lack of knowledge about current requirements.

Our experts provide consultations on the requirements of the Law of Ukraine “On Regulation of Urban Planning Activities,” verify documentation for DBN compliance, and support document submission via the “Diia” portal or CNA. We also assist in appealing refusals if they occur, ensuring the protection of your interests in court.

Important! Please note: building schemes and intention sketches must be drafted by a certified architect or engineer-designer, or they will not be accepted for review. Ensure the executor holds a valid qualification certificate!
