We plan your own individual dream house
Whether
you like to build a completely new house, or want to adapt a charming
old house to your own living requirements, you need a useable concept,
and often also a construction permit. In Hungary was built very much
nonsense, that the regulations in the technical sense have become very
strict. Static, fire protection, sustainable construction and the
associated environmental protection plays a very important role. At all
an estimably development, were it not for the bureaucracy that is
caused at the same time.
In general, it is quite simple to
realise in Hungary your own wishes. Really difficult it is only about
monuments and protected views. Here is the realisation of one's own
living requirements of the monument protection subordinate. The rest of
restrictions arises from the law primarily because of security
regulations, such as fire protection, environmental regulations,
respect for the privacy of neighbours and other protective provisions.
The law will be supplemented by the local development plans - and this
one can determine much, or even be quite generally.
To
implement these rules you need basically a permission in all causes.
Exempt from the permit requirement is only alterations in the interior
of the building, as far as the supporting structure is not affected,
renewals on existing buildings, as long as it does not extent the size,
appearance and visual materials must not be changed and smallest
buildings of less than 4 m². So is the replacement of a wooden
window by another wooden window of the same size even can be done
without permit, while work on the replacement of the roof with wave
asbest plates by roof-tiles because of the other visual material
requires a permit - even the static integrity of the house is affected.
Of
course, a construction permit is also a cost factor. However, the
current punishments are so high now that no one should calculate it as
the cheaper option. Who e.g. illegally expands his house has to pay a
punishment of Ft 130,000 (about 520, - € / 400,- £) per
square for it and who demolishes a stable without permission must gets
a punishment of 100,000 HUF (about 400, - € / 300,- £) per
square metre. For every law violation and every type of building there
is a special amount of the punishment per square meter. In extreme
cases also demolition or reconstruction of the illegally constructed or
abandoned building may be required before an application for a
construction permit is accepted. A construction, which is not permitted
in any case, has always to be demolished. Meanwhile many villages are
photographed all around and structural changes are easily provable, not
even to mention Google Earth...
Here again our service
starts. Of course we are familiar with the legal provisions and
therefore we can obey the needed requirements for a construction permit
immediately and can exclude those parts that are according to Hungarian
law not allowed. We discuss with you your very personal wishes and make
creative suggestions. Our advantage is that we are able to communicate
with you in English and more important we understand the housing needs
of the foreigner completely - even with the nuances of various
nationalities. In close collaboration with a Hungarian architect we
create a definite plan, which is suitable to be submitted for approval.
This already determines all details of the construction as materials,
colours and so on, so all the relevant details needed being discussed
with you from the very beginning. In Hungary the application for a
construction permission has to be submitted by a registered architect
only. Below you find a small selection of our work, the plans show
various projects.
