Frequently Asked Questions

Fees depend on the building type, its floor area and the scope of services. They are never below the official minimum fee schedule. After the first meeting you receive a fixed, itemised written offer, usually paid in instalments linked to each project stage.

For a private house, typically four to six months: about two months for brief and design, six to eight weeks for permit drawings and engineering, plus the municipality’s review time. Larger or listed buildings take longer; we give you a realistic timeline at the start.

The title deed or parcel number is enough for the first meeting. For the design we will also need the official zoning status, a topographic survey and, later, a geotechnical report — we can organise these for you.

Yes. We work with a trusted network of licensed structural, mechanical and electrical engineers and coordinate all disciplines in one BIM model. You have a single contract and one responsible contact if you wish.

Yes. We regularly design projects across the country and abroad. Design meetings can be held online; for permits and site supervision abroad we collaborate with local partner offices that know the regulations.

We prepare and submit the complete file on your behalf with a power of attorney, answer the municipality’s corrections and keep you informed until the building permit is issued. Official fees are paid by the owner.

High-resolution images (typically 4K) in the agreed views, one round of revisions on materials and lighting, and web-ready versions for brochures or online listings. Animations and 360° panoramas are available as options.

Yes. Any intervention on a listed building — even repairs — requires the approval of the regional conservation board. We prepare the survey, restitution and restoration projects to the board’s standards and represent you throughout the process.

No. The legally required building inspection checks compliance with regulations on behalf of the authorities. Our supervision works for you: we make sure the building is built as designed, to the agreed quality, budget and schedule.
