Prior information request in one week. Signed, filed and followed through.
We assess your property's building feasibility and prepare your PIP. Our architects sign it and we file it with the city council, in Porto or any other municipality in Portugal. Then we follow the process through to the decision.
From plot to construction. We prepare, sign, file and follow up.
Our technology prepares the prior information request, our architects review and sign it, and we file it with the council and follow every step until the decision.
One week to the council. Without the months of waiting.
Our technology prepares the request. The week goes to talking with you and to our architects reviewing and signing it. Then we follow the request through to the council's decision.
- Day 1
Conversation
We talk with you about the property, what you plan to do and the documents you have.
- After the conversation
Preparation
Our technology assesses building feasibility: it checks the PDM and constraints and drafts the request.
- Days 2 to 6
Review and signature
Our architects review the request and sign it, with professional responsibility. This is the longest step.
- Day 7
Filing
We file the PIP with the city council and keep the proof of filing.
Council review
The council has its own legal deadlines. We answer requests for documents and follow the process through to the decision.
Design and engineering
If you want to go ahead with the architectural design, we do it with you, along with the engineering projects (especialidades), such as structure and utilities.
Building feasibility. What the land allows.
