Quite often, residents of typical apartments are asked the question of redevelopment. This may be due to the fact that standard buildings do not meet the requirements of your comfort or a small -sized apartment needs to improve and at least a minimum expansion. You can refresh the apartment and improve it visually using cosmetic repairs, but this will not solve the problem of your housing dramatically.
It is possible to make housing with qualitatively others that meet all requests with the help of a redevelopment of the apartment. It is technically quite possible to do this, but legally – not always.
In order to redevelop, you must first draw up a plan and find out whether it is possible to carry out any specific work. Any change in the apartment plan should be documented, even if the changes seem insignificant to you. To do this, you need to collect all the required documents and get a permit of special services.
First of all, it is necessary to carry out a redevelopment project – it must be a plan or sketch, depending on the complexity of the work. The sketch is appropriate only when construction work does not require engineering calculations, and also do not create dangerous conditions for the residents of your apartment and adjacent apartments, and cannot worsen the conditions of these premises. Such works are the expansion of doorways, if this is not a supporting wall, the installation of all kinds of partitions.
If you have conceived more complex changes, then you need to contact the design organization for help. They will draw up a redevelopment project that will be your main document for these works. The company must have a license of the housing inspection, otherwise the project will not have the strength and you will not be approved. In cases where construction work will affect the supporting walls, the project must be contacted directly to the organization that is the developer and the author of the houses of your structure.
There are frequent cases when the redevelopment project requires the written consent of the interested parties. For example, this is a bank that gave you a mortgage for an apartment if you have not paid it yet. In fact, the owner of the apartment is. Also, if you want to change the layout in a communal apartment, you will have to obtain permission from all residents, neighbors. Having collected all the necessary documents, you will receive a permit for redevelopment from the housing inspection. Only after that can you start work.
