Architectural Design & Permits
Architectural Design and Permitting with a Focus on Buildability and Compliance
Architectural design and permitting are not only creative phases — they are technical, regulatory, and strategic processes that directly affect construction costs, timelines, and overall investment performance.
Our role is to ensure that design solutions are buildable, regulation-compliant, and economically justified, while permitting is handled in a structured and predictable manner.
Professional Consultation & Decision Support
Throughout all design and permitting phases, we work closely with licensed architects and professional legal advisors.
This ensures that all decisions are reviewed from architectural, legal, and engineering perspectives before final approval.
Structured & Transparent Communication
All architectural design and permitting materials are delivered in a clear, structured, and decision-oriented format, allowing investors to fully understand the project before construction begins.
Depending on the project phase, we provide:
Concept design materials (Idejni projekt)
Architectural layouts, massing studies, and spatial organization presented through drawings and annotated visuals.3D models and visualizations
Used to clearly demonstrate building volume, proportions, façade composition, and spatial relationships — aligned with planning regulations.Technical design drawings
Coordinated architectural, structural, and MEP documentation prepared for permitting and execution.Detail studies and material solutions
Visual and technical details focused on buildability, durability, and cost efficiency.Clear revision tracking
All design updates and changes are documented and communicated transparently, ensuring full control over design decisions.
All documentation is organized and shared systematically, enabling efficient review, informed approvals, and smooth transition into construction.
Design & permitting scope typically includes:
1. Concept Design & Investment Alignment
We develop architectural concepts based on:
investor objectives and budget
land constraints and zoning parameters
market positioning and intended use
Common challenges:
concepts that exceed planning limits
designs disconnected from construction reality
early decisions that later cause cost overruns
Our approach ensures that the concept is aligned with what can be approved and built, not just what looks good on paper.
2. Urban Planning Compliance & Zoning
We verify and coordinate design solutions with applicable:
spatial plans
urban planning conditions
land-use regulations
Common challenges:
misinterpretation of zoning rules
conflicting planning provisions
late design changes due to regulatory non-compliance
Early planning coordination prevents delays during the permitting phase.
3. Architectural, Structural & MEP Design Coordination
We coordinate all core design disciplines, including:
architectural design
structural engineering
mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems
Common challenges:
poor coordination between disciplines
clashes identified only during construction
inefficient systems increasing long-term operating costs
Integrated design reduces execution risks and improves construction efficiency.
4. 3D Visualizations & Spatial Studies
Where required, we prepare:
3D models
spatial and massing studies
visualization materials for approvals or investor review
Common challenges:
misleading visualizations not reflecting real constraints
designs that fail once translated into technical drawings
Visual tools are used as decision-support instruments, not marketing illusions.
5. Cost-Aware Detailing & Technical Solutions
We develop design details with:
construction feasibility in mind
realistic material choices
cost-performance optimization
Common challenges:
details that are difficult or expensive to execute
design decisions causing unnecessary complexity
late value engineering due to unrealistic detailing
Cost-aware detailing reduces change orders and construction disputes.
6. Main Project Documentation (Glavni projekt)
We manage preparation of full main project documentation required for permitting, including:
architectural, structural, and MEP designs
technical descriptions and calculations
coordination between all project contributors
Common challenges:
incomplete documentation
inconsistencies between project parts
authority requests for revisions
Proper documentation is critical for smooth permit approval.
7. Building Permit Application & Authority
We manage the permitting process, including:
submission of documentation
communication with relevant authorities
coordination of revisions and clarifications
Common challenges:
delays due to unclear submissions
additional requirements requested mid-process
poor coordination between stakeholders
Structured authority coordination minimizes approval delays.
From Design to Construction
Once permits are secured, we continue seamlessly with:
construction execution
site supervision
project management
Ensuring continuity, accountability, and control throughout the project lifecycle.
Design Decisions Based on Reality
Successful projects are built on designs that respect regulations, construction logic, and investment constraints.
