Apartment redevelopment project (samples): how to design, where to order, cost,

What is an apartment redevelopment project?

If you have started a redevelopment, then most likely the experts will tell you that you need to do a project.

An apartment redevelopment project is design documentation that contains a plan for future work, layouts of premises before and after renovation, as well as various drawings, explanations and calculations for changing the configuration of the apartment. Simply put, these are filed sheets with a plan for the redevelopment of the apartment, on the basis of which officials will approve the renovation.

The requirements for projects in Moscow can be found in Appendix 3 to Moscow PP No. 1335-PP dated August 19, 2021 (previous requirements were in Moscow PP No. 508-PP dated October 25, 2011).

Local regulations apply in regions. For example, in Kazan, the Administrative Regulations can be found on the portal of local government bodies of the city of Kazan.

Along with the redevelopment project, a technical opinion may also be required. It is an annex to the project and reflects two important points: what condition the building’s structures are in and whether redevelopment can be done without the threat of collapse of these structures. For example, in Moscow they always require a project + technical report. In the regions this is easier and they may only ask you for design documentation.

Requirements

There are government regulations and requirements for the project.

Work should begin by inspecting the facility and obtaining a technical report on the condition of the structures. Project documentation must be developed taking into account SNiP, San. standards, as well as the requirements of Rospotrebnadzor, departments of the Ministry of Emergency Situations (gas and fire services).

The main sections depend on its complexity and the requirements of the authorities in which it will need to be approved.

Composition of the apartment redevelopment project:

Constructive.
Architectural.
Replacement of floors.
Ventilation diagram.
Heating scheme.
Electricity supply.
Water supply and sanitation.
Room measurements.
General plan.
Construction organization plan.

Each sheet of the document is signed by the author and the head of the development company.

Then the project is certified by the customer's signature .

The amount of information provided for approval must be complete.

At the same time, you should not include unnecessary information in the document.

What should the project contain?

Typical apartment redevelopment projects are a package of documents consisting of the following items:

explanatory note;
situational plan;
floor plans before and after redevelopment;
description of structural units and parts;
description of reinforcing elements (if necessary);
axonometric plan;
floor plan.

In addition, electrical, water supply, sewerage, heating, ventilation, and waterproofing diagrams may be attached

The following is an apartment redevelopment project :

Title page.
General data sheet.
Explanatory note.
Apartment plan before redevelopment.
Dismantling and installation plan of the apartment.
Plan of the apartment after redevelopment.
Explication and floor plan.
Waterproofing scheme.
Water supply and sewerage.
Axonometric diagram.
Photo recording.
Scheme of metal reinforcement of load-bearing structures.
Approval from a self-regulatory organization.
Author's supervision.

Additional sections:

power supply project for the premises;
photomontages;
thermal engineering calculation;
installation of partitions;
Scheme for dismantling the window sill block.

When is a project needed?

Almost any changes in the configuration of a residential premises require the owner to provide a redevelopment project.

We are talking about work that results in changes to the original BTI plan. The project is needed to show the administration what you want to do, what materials will be used, how the load on the supporting structures will change, etc.

What kind of work requires an apartment redevelopment project:

Construction of openings in load-bearing walls (with reinforcement).
Expansion of the bathroom due to the area of the corridor.
Increasing the kitchen area at the expense of the room.
Dismantling the window sill.
Demolition, replacement or creation of partitions between rooms, for example, a bathroom and a toilet.
Combination of room and corridor.
Creating a dressing room, for example, after dismantling the built-in wardrobes.
Replacement of floor coverings.
Replacing a shower stall with a bathtub.
Other works.

Before carrying out this work, you need to draw up a project and submit it for consideration to the architectural department of the city or district. But in some cases, you can get by with a sketch or not draw up design documentation at all. For example, when you want to make cosmetic repairs, hang wallpaper, install plastic windows or a home air conditioner.

Is it possible to get by with a sketch?

The sketch is suitable in cases where changes in the apartment plan are not so serious. They do not need to be included in the BTI plans.

For example, you move plumbing fixtures within a bathroom, but the area of the room does not change. Or you are planning to dismantle the old built-in wardrobes - the dimensions of the corridor also remain the same.

Coordinating redevelopment “according to a sketch” is much simpler and cheaper. The main difference from a project is that first you carry out the work, and only after its completion do you draw up a sketch (directly on the BTI plan). Next, it is assessed in the architecture department, a technician comes to you and checks the work done with the sketch. If everything is in order, all that remains is to record the changes in the BTI and the Unified State Register.

Coordination of redevelopment of non-residential premises

Redevelopment of an apartment through the MFC

How to coordinate redevelopment in an ordinary house

Coordination of redevelopment is a long stage, the documents will be ready within several months, but it’s difficult to say exactly when. What need to do:

Develop a design project.

Or at least figure out how you want to rebuild your home and sketch out a sketch.

A design project is needed if you don’t know exactly what to change in the apartment, and it’s difficult for you to estimate how much the renovation will cost. Specialists will prepare a visualized model of the redevelopment, select materials and furniture, and draw up a detailed plan and technical specifications for the builders. The advantage of a design project is that you see what the apartment will look like after remodeling, and you can accurately calculate how much money you need for renovations. The downside is that it's expensive. The price can reach up to 5000 ₽ per sq. m. m. If without documentation, then it’s cheaper.

You can do without a design project and save money. Decide what you want to change and draw a rough plan on paper. This will be enough for a design bureau specialist.

Pay the state fee.

A receipt for payment of the state duty will need to be attached to the package of documents for redevelopment. There is no fixed amount of state duty; it is set by local authorities. You can find out on the city administration website or at the BTI.

Order technical documentation for the apartment.

The technical passport and floor plan of the apartment will be needed for the redevelopment project. You can take a copy or receive the plan electronically, there is no difference. The application is written according to the approved form, it will be issued by the MFC or BTI. You can fill it out online, through State Services, but in this case you need an electronic signature. If you are in Moscow, you can order a registration certificate on the Moscow Mayor’s website.

The cost of a passport depends on the region. For example, now in Moscow it is 2400 ₽.

Documents that will be required:

passport of the owner or person who acts under a power of attorney;
ownership of an apartment, a social tenancy agreement or an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate. The extract is paid, up to 700 ₽, will be ready within 24 hours;
a notarized power of attorney, if the registration certificate is not ordered by the owner;
receipt for payment of state duty;
statement. It can be filled out directly at the office.

An example of an application for the issuance of technical documentation for the redevelopment of an apartment

The passport will be ready within 10 days.

Order a project and obtain additional permits.

If your redevelopment will not affect load-bearing walls, then often a project is not needed - a sketch is enough. A BTI specialist or an employee of an organization with SRO approval will make the planned changes to a copy of the registration certificate for the apartment. If you plan to affect load-bearing structures or move wet areas, then the project is mandatory - you need to go to the institute - the author of the house - for it. The project is usually completed in 3–7 days, the cost is from 15,000 rubles to 150,000 rubles, depending on the company and the complexity of the redevelopment.

There are standard approved projects. If you take any of them, you don’t need to do an individual project. The application will only need to indicate the standard project number.

The project is valid for a year. If you do not make repairs during this time, you will have to collect documents for redevelopment again.

You must immediately conclude an agreement on designer supervision with the company that will do the project. It is needed so that the organization itself controls the stages of redevelopment and notes them in the work log - it is issued along with a permit for redevelopment. Only an organization with SRO approval can fill out the log; you do not have the right to do this yourself. Not keeping a journal will also not work - without it, the commission will not sign the Act on the completed redevelopment. In addition, if the redevelopment involves load-bearing structures or utility networks, then a Hidden Work Report must be drawn up - only an organization with SRO approval has the right to do this. In general, you can’t do without a copyright supervision agreement. The cost of such a contract depends on the volume and complexity of the work; it is calculated based on the total cost of the estimate.

Sometimes you need to obtain additional permits from firefighters, gas workers, SES and water utilities. Usually only in cases where the redevelopment involves engineering systems and wet areas. If the house is of historical and architectural value, then the consent of the committee for control of architectural monuments in the city administration will be required. Whether additional permits are needed, the BTI or the organization doing the project will tell you.

Obtain the consent of co-owners and neighbors.

All that remains is to obtain consent for the redevelopment from neighbors if the changes concern them (for example, if there will be a transfer of wet areas or if you are combining the vestibule with an apartment), and from all adult family members. If even one person does not agree, a work permit will not be issued. If the renovation has already been done, but consent has not been received, the redevelopment will be considered illegal and the apartment will be required to be returned to its original state.

Submit an application for approval of redevelopment.

The application and documents must be submitted for consideration. In person - to the city administration or MFC, online - through State Services, however, this is not possible in all cities. For example, this will not be possible in Bryansk.

Sample application for approval of redevelopment

The inspectorate that accepts the application must issue a receipt for the receipt of documents, which will indicate the date, application number and who accepted it.

In Moscow, the application can be filled out online, documents can be scanned and attached to the application. In this case, the project must be certified with an electronic signature of the company that developed it. If there is no signature, then after sending the documents, within 5 working days after completing the application, you must bring the entire package of documents in paper form to.

Documents required for approval of redevelopment:

passport of the owner who submits the application;
certificate of ownership of the apartment - it must be notarized;
BTI technical documentation;
project and all permits;
consent to the redevelopment of all adult family members.

You are not required to provide other documents - the law says so. The decision will be made within 45 days, although it is often sent earlier, after about a month. You will receive permission or a reasoned refusal. The refusal will indicate the reasons why the permit was not issued. Complete the requirements and resubmit the documents for approval. If you do not agree with the reasons for the refusal, go to court.

If your apartment is registered with Rosreestr, then you don’t have to submit technical documentation and a certificate of ownership - the housing inspectorate itself will request this data. But in this case, the approval will take about 1–1.5 months longer.

If the project has been approved, you will receive permission for redevelopment. It will indicate the deadline by which you will have to make repairs - usually up to a year. When you have completed all the work, you will need to call the housing commission, it will check whether what has been done corresponds to the project. If everything is in order, the representative will sign the Act on the completed redevelopment and, based on it, the administration will issue you a decision that the redevelopment is legal. Take the decision to Technical Supervision and BTI, they will issue a new registration certificate for the apartment.

Now we need to put the apartment into operation. For this:

write an application to the city administration with a request to put the apartment into operation;
attach copies of the passport, the Act on the completed redevelopment, the decision that the redevelopment is legal, and the new technical passport.

Take the originals with you - they will be checked against copies. In a month you will receive permission to put into operation.

The last milestone is updating information about the apartment in Rosreestr. To change data you need to pay a state fee, the cost differs in different regions, on average it is 350 ₽. The request can be submitted to the MFC or at the Rosreestr branch. Needed:

documents that you collected for redevelopment;
technical documentation for the apartment;
permission to commission;
receipt of payment of state duty;
statement.

The information will be updated within a week, you will be given an extract from the Unified State Register and a new apartment plan. That's it, the redevelopment is legalized.

Typical redevelopment project

It is used in cases where work can be carried out on the basis of ready-made redevelopment projects from the author of the house. There is no need to order a paid project from an SRO organization.

A standard redevelopment project is always free. It can be found on the official website of the author of the house, in the catalog of finished projects. For example, in Moscow, most residential buildings were designed by JSC MNIITEP. Standard projects can be downloaded from the catalog on the official website of the Moscow Housing Inspectorate.

If your house belongs to a mass series of houses, the layout of the apartment is exactly as in the catalog and you liked one of the standard redevelopment projects, you can safely use it. A link to the selected project must be sent to the local government when submitting other documents for approval of configuration changes.

Important! The disadvantage is the template nature of standard projects. You won’t be able to change them to suit your tastes and ideas. The slightest deviation from the project will lead to the commission not accepting your work, which means you will have to redo it in accordance with the standard project.

Plans and schemes

Schemes and plans for documentation of a redevelopment project are a mandatory component , since they confirm not only qualitatively the possibility of redevelopment, but also quantitatively the legality and compliance with standards, GOSTs, etc.

Drawing before

It is drawn according to the floor plan available in the BTI, therefore it must completely coincide with it according to the inventory data.

In some cases, can a table of apartment explications with the BTI plan itself be used? for example, when transferring to a non-residential property.

Dismantling and installation markings

Using color markings, the location of changeable objects before redevelopment is drawn in green : plumbing fixtures, load-bearing partitions, openings, etc., and their planned movement is shown in red.

Activities after

Without using color designations, a new diagram is drawn in the form of a plan for the location of the premises, and a new explanation is attached to the paper, which shows the purpose and changed areas of the apartment’s premises.

The installation of large household appliances is indicated only if there are appropriate marks in the original BTI plan. When the customer receives a certificate of completion of housing reconstruction, BTI employees make control measurements , which are included in the new documents from BTI for the apartment.

Important! If necessary, additional sections are included in the project.

Explication of floors

Explication of floors is included in the project subject to intervention in the design of the flooring . For each room, the explication indicates a floor plan - their layer-by-layer construction. The attached plan indicates the boundaries for different types of floors. In a residential building, sound insulation must be installed on the floors, and waterproofing is required for the bathroom and toilet.

If the flooring is routinely replaced with a material of a similar type, for example, parquet is laid instead of boards or laminate, then the reconstruction of the floor is not considered an intervention in the structure, but replacement with ceramic tiles or electric heating flooring is.

Waterproofing

When changing the size of the bathroom, it is necessary to install waterproofing under the flooring.

These changes will be reflected in hidden work reports , indicating the lowering of the floor in the room or the installation of an overflow threshold.

Sewerage and water supply

Relocation of piping patterns, which is caused by a change in the location of plumbing equipment, requires reflection in the project documentation. This section can be drawn up separately from the project or included in it; it contains color-coded drawings of the layout of sewer pipes and cold/hot water supply systems.

Engineering equipment

Displays the layout of heating, ventilation and plumbing in the apartment. This section is not always included in the project, since it is closely related to the ventilation and heating plan, as well as to the sewerage and water supply plan. The requirement for its presence in the documentation is due to the need to confirm the absence of any changes to the engineering systems.

Axonometry

These drawings are used for greater clarity of the three-dimensional display of ventilation shafts , water supply and sewerage pipelines, and therefore are produced in color.

Strengthening load-bearing structures

In a redevelopment project, it is present when carrying out work on equipment in unloading or load-bearing walls or ceilings of openings. They also reflect work on moving or expanding existing openings of these structures. Contains a diagram of metal structures, parameters of openings, and the presence of additional reinforcement.

Reference! Sometimes the project includes recommendations on the rules for carrying out such work, indicating the details of components and specifications of materials.

Instructions for cutting the opening and installing metal profiles

Describes the requirements and instructions for cutting an opening, safety rules for such work, requirements for the tools and materials used. Responsibility for the quality of this operation rests with the design organization, which must allocate a competent employee for designer supervision and drawing up an act for hidden work. All operations prior to plastering are included.

Should the installation of non-load-bearing interior partitions made of gypsum plasterboard or foam blocks be included?

Indicated if there is a standard diagram of partitions made of foamed aerated concrete and diagrams for the installation of load-bearing frame partitions.

Ventilation and heating

The design documentation is included when non-standard solutions are implemented in terms of ventilation and heating . Contains drawings and axonometry.

Electricity supply

Most often required for apartments located in new buildings. For other real estate objects, it is included in the project if there are significant changes in the location of wiring, switches, lighting fixtures, installation of equipment with a power of more than 1 W, etc.

Photomontages

Needed when carrying out facade work for coordination with the district administration authorities. In accordance with the design decision, photomontage is carried out before and after the work is completed .

Attention! Approvals and marks do not require the installation of air conditioners and glazing of loggias.

Thermal calculation

It can also be called the calculation of heat transfer of enclosing structures; the redevelopment project is included in the case of construction and repair work on the external panels of the building.

When increasing the doorway to a loggia or balcony, removing a window sill block or other changes can reduce the ability to maintain the standard temperature level in the apartment.

Using this document, it is necessary to confirm the absence of significant changes and guarantee that the standard temperature regime will be maintained .

Acoustic performance

The installation of a new ventilation system must comply with noise emission standards, which is reflected in the corresponding section of the project.

Where to make an apartment redevelopment project for approval

To order an apartment redevelopment project, you need to contact a commercial company that has SRO approval to produce project documentation.
You can find out whether the company is listed in the register of designers on the Nostroy website. Pay attention to the last column "Status". If there is a green checkmark next to the company you have chosen and the status is “Active”, then you can apply for a project to this company, which means the opposite - the company is not listed in the SRO register. The project she draws up will be invalid and it will not be accepted anywhere.

How to order

Let's look at the stages of ordering an apartment redevelopment project:

Check that the designer is a member of the SRO and has permission to provide services. The company must have an SRO certificate (license), as well as an enhanced qualified signature.
Contact the designer's representatives: by phone, e-mail, through the website, by registered mail or in person in the office.
Consult with an engineer to see if it is possible to implement your redevelopment idea in practice. Perhaps something will have to change as discussions progress.
Sign an agreement for the provision of services for drawing up a redevelopment project and a technical report. The contract will protect your rights in case disputes arise regarding the revision or rejection of the project. One contract will remain with the company, and the second copy will be given to you. An author's supervision contract will also be signed. It is needed so that the designer checks the hidden work and draws up the appropriate act. For example, about waterproofing floors in the bathroom or soundproofing in the bedroom. Without these acts, the inspection authorities from the administration will not accept work from you.
Make an advance payment to start developing the project. The rest of the amount will need to be paid upon successful acceptance of the apartment redevelopment.
Submit the necessary documents to the company and wait for the project to be ready.

If you don’t want to coordinate repairs with different authorities, you can entrust this to a turnkey designer. The service costs more. But on the other hand, you won’t have to communicate with officials and ask for permission—this will be handled by representatives by proxy.

Redevelopment options

Before drawing up a sketch or design project for redevelopment, consider the quality of the walls of your home.

Redevelopment in a panel house (standard projects can be downloaded below) or block houses are limited by the width of the panels.
Any measures to demolish walls or make openings in them are often impossible.
Redevelopment can be done using an easily dismantled sanitary cabin.
The bathroom is combined, and due to this, squares are freed up for expanding rooms or corridors.
- combining two residential premises with an opening in the ceiling in a KOPE panel house;
redistribution of a 2-room Khrushchev house in a panel house I-515;
redevelopment of a three-ruble note in a panel house II-49D;
modification of a 4-room apartment in a P-55 series building;
redevelopment of a five-room Khrushchev house in a house of the PD-4 series.
In a brick house Interior partitions are not load-bearing and can be easily dismantled.
The only trouble with this is the possibility of stumbling upon ventilation duct, which is prohibited from demolition.
Reconstruction of the internal space of brick houses is carried out by expanding the area of the rooms due to long, narrow corridors or non-residential premises.
- moving the kitchen in a one-room dwelling in a brick house;
redistribution of a 2-room Khrushchev house with the relocation of the kitchen to the corridor;
combining a bathroom in a three-room brick house;
reconstruction of a 4-room residential building of a brick house.

How to remodel a two-room apartment?

The most popular type are redevelopment projects for two-room apartments with a change in the number of rooms.

If you need additional isolated space, you can make three rooms out of two .

But this option is possible if there are rooms of sufficient size. Partitions are made from lightweight modern materials.

This redevelopment is very popular and is carried out more often when the number of family members increases.

The opposite option are projects for redevelopment of a two-room Khrushchev building into a one-room one . The partitions are simply removed, and the owner receives one spacious room, divided into zones, instead of two small ones.

A popular option is combining the living room with the kitchen . The only obstacle in this case may be the kitchen gas equipment, since the connection does not meet safety standards.

Redevelopment of a two-room apartment, projects :

Combination of residential premises in a monolithic house.
Installation of a sliding partition in a house series 1-511.
Combining a living room and kitchen in a two-room brick house.
Redevelopment of premises in block house II-18.

Redistribution of a three-room apartment

A three-room apartment usually has one large and two small rooms. It makes no sense to divide small rooms, so you can increase the number of rooms at the expense of the living room. Additional space with this option can be obtained through a corridor or loggia.

As in a two-room apartment, you can combine the living room with the kitchen . In this case, you can turn part of a large room into a separate room. For example, you can make a dressing room in it.

You can rationally use the area of the corridors to install storage systems in them or to connect them to the living room. To create a dining room, one of the rooms can be connected to the kitchen by removing the partition.

You can view redevelopment projects for three-room apartments here.

Drawing up a redevelopment project and preparing documents for its implementation is a procedure that takes a lot of effort and time. Therefore, it is more advisable to contact specialists from specialized companies , which will allow you to get rid of unnecessary hassle and make the process of reorganizing the space of your home enjoyable.

Composition of the redevelopment project

Requirements for the preparation and composition of the project have been approved throughout the Russian Federation. Designers are aware of the regulations, so project customers do not have to worry about the correctness of the structure.

Nevertheless, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with what sections the redevelopment project consists of:

Section 1. Cover and title page - combined or separate sheets

The cover includes the design organization's header, address and other contact information. The name of the project is indicated in the center. Below is the address of the apartment where changes are planned. At the very bottom of the sheet is the city and year the project was made.

The title page is needed for signatures of responsible persons. Usually this is the director or head of the design company, as well as the chief engineer. The organization's seal is also placed here.

Section 2. General information

Includes the following information:

Table of contents: what sections the project consists of, what pages they are on and how many sheets they occupy;
The list of documents attached to the project includes BTI plans, copies of the designer’s license, designer’s supervision;
A table with links to legal and local acts in the text of the project itself (SNiPs, GOSTs, regulations, etc.);
In the lower left corner is the commitment of the chief project engineer (PI) on the compliance of technical solutions in the project with legal requirements, indicating the initials of the PI.

Section 3. Explanatory note of the project

Contains a detailed list of necessary work within the framework of the required project. The following are important terms and conditions that must be observed. For example, the use of specific materials for laying waterproofing, arranging a threshold in a bathroom doorway, etc.

Section 4. Residential plan before redevelopment

The basis is always the BTI plan and explication of the premises “before” the renovation. The numbering and letters must comply with the technical documentation of the BTI, without deviations. Otherwise, the hosts may refuse to approve the project.

Section 5. Dismantling and installation plan

Here the engineer indicates all the changes that are planned during the redevelopment of the apartment. For example, demolishing a partition, creating an opening in a load-bearing wall, erecting new walls, etc.

On a note! Color schemes are used in this section. Usually two colors are used: green and red. Green indicates installation and red indicates dismantling. However, there are no strict requirements for the color scheme in GOST, but in practice these two colors are used.

Section 6. Apartment plan after redevelopment

The final version of the living space, taking into account the implementation of all technical solutions.

There are two tables on the sheet:

Plan – is a drawing of the apartment indicating the dimensions of the premises;
Explication - gives a detailed description of all the premises presented (kitchen, living room, toilet, etc.)

This version of the apartment will be accepted by a commission from the architecture department or housing inspection. The final dimensions will be recorded by a BTI engineer, and subsequently changes will be made to the technical passport of the residential premises.

Section 7. Floor plan

This sheet is hemmed only when the floor coverings are changed, which does not happen with every redevelopment.

There are also two tables on the sheet:

Floor plan - a drawing of an apartment with a designation of the surface in each room;
Explication - drawing out diagrams, indicating the type of flooring, material and area (sq. meters).

Below are symbols and an “inset” to identify the page as part of the project.

Section 8. Waterproofing and sound insulation scheme

Required when expanding the area of rooms or installing floor coverings. The waterproofing unit protects against moisture penetration to the base of the floors, which means it protects the neighbors below from flooding. Sound insulation (sound insulation) is needed so that the same neighbors do not go crazy from loud sounds in your apartment.

The sheet shows the plan, explication and diagram of the protection device. The section is supplemented by acts of hidden work, which must be signed by the designer with SRO approval.

Section 9. Apartment plan with plumbing equipment

Mandatory in the case of moving batteries, water supply risers, drainage pipes or ventilation units. If apart from these works you have done nothing else, then such a plan can proceed as an independent one. The main project will no longer be needed.

Section 10. Axonometric diagrams of hot water supply and cold water supply

Three-dimensional diagrams of laying connections for all types of communications to plumbing equipment (cold and hot water supply) are drawn on the sheet.

Section 11. Strengthening load-bearing structures

A mandatory section if you are touching load-bearing walls in an apartment, for example, make an opening in them.

Reinforcement is always done using metal structures. Accordingly, in the plan it is necessary to note the reinforcement drawing (dimensions, frame, spacer posts, specification). There is also the order of work - a description of the steps, and what follows what.

Such processes are accompanied by acts of hidden work, that is, strengthening of openings in the load-bearing wall. At the same time, it is necessary to contact the author of the house for a technical opinion on the condition of the building’s structures. In Moscow, these conclusions are issued by MNIITEP.

Section 12. Scheme of installation/dismantling of partitions

The material and method of attaching partitions to the floor and walls are indicated.

Below is the calculation formula: time of load on the floor, weight of the partition, maximum load and engineer’s conclusion. The maximum and minimum load on the floors is taken from GOST and SNiPs.

Section 13. Plan and photographic recording

Here you need to mark on the map the location of the house in the city. A small section of the map is enough where other houses, street names, roads and other objects are visible. Below is a color photo of the house.

Section 14. Permission from SRO to carry out work

The organization that draws up the redevelopment project attaches a Certificate of Permission to Work to it. It confirms that the company has the right to develop projects taking into account the safety of capital construction projects.

Another mandatory application is architectural supervision - so that the designer can sign acts of hidden work.

What you need to know about redevelopment

What is this anyway?

Redevelopment is changes inside the premises. For example, moving or removing walls, a new opening, or combining two rooms into one. During redevelopment, engineering systems and communications are not touched, the area of the apartment is not changed - sewerage, heating, gas pipes must remain in place. If you need, for example, to move the kitchen to a niche in the corridor and install water there, this is a reconstruction, and if you need to connect a loggia with a hall, this is a reconstruction. Different transformations have their own documents and requirements. All changes must be recorded in the registration certificate of the apartment.

Which houses can be remodeled?

Redevelopment can be done almost everywhere, except for houses built before the 70s of the last century and architectural monuments. If the house falls under these statuses, then any changes will entail big troubles, so you must first obtain permission, and then invest in repairs. You can find out the status of the house on the State Register website or in the online service Dom.minzhkkh.

If the house belongs to an architectural monument or an object of historical heritage, then they do not make a redevelopment project, but a project of adaptation for modern use. First you need to get a conclusion that redevelopment is allowed in this house, and then deal with the remaining documents. The conclusion is issued by the department for the protection of architectural, historical and cultural monuments in the city administration. In Moscow it is the Moscow City Heritage Institute, in St. Petersburg it is the KGIOP.

What are the requirements for the footage of premises? There is a set footage of the premises in the apartment; when remodeling, it must be taken into account. If after renovation the resulting rooms or kitchen are at least 5 cm2 smaller, the project will not be approved.

The design organization knows all the standards, so specialists will prepare a project that will be accurately agreed upon. But if you are doing the redevelopment yourself, then it is better to study the law. If the apartment is in Moscow, then you can follow these rules.

Is it possible to make a studio apartment?

It is possible, but there are nuances. In a panel or block house, it is difficult to coordinate such a redevelopment - the internal walls are most often load-bearing. In this case, the design organization will have to determine whether it is possible to make an opening and calculate the reinforcement. In this case, after the redevelopment, there must remain an isolated living room with a window with an area of at least 14 m2, the bathroom must be separated from the living area by a door or a sliding partition. This also applies to the kitchen if the house is gasified.

Do neighbors need consent for redevelopment?.

If the redevelopment affects home property or the changes may worsen the living conditions of other people, then yes. For example, you live on the top floor and want to increase the area by adding an attic, that is, you take part of the common property for yourself. Such alterations require the consent of all owners of your home. At the same time, they must attend the general meeting of residents in person or give notarized consent if they cannot attend. Or you want to add a vestibule at the expense of the staircase, then you need to get consent from ⅔ of the owners, otherwise the project will not be approved. If you plan to increase wet areas, then you will only need the consent of the neighbors below, since such redevelopment directly affects them.

What can you do.

Anything that is safe and will not cause inconvenience to neighbors: new partitions, openings in the walls, replacing the floor, expanding the bathroom or kitchen through the corridor, glazing the balcony (except for houses with an individual design), combining rooms. It’s easier to be guided by what is not allowed.

Which is absolutely not possible.

The law in this case is strict. If you have done anything from the list below, you will be fined and required to return everything to its original state. At your own expense, of course.

Forbidden:

demolish supporting structures;
make openings in load-bearing structures without reinforcement. What kind of reinforcement should be - is calculated by a specialist from the design organization;
dismantle interfloor ceilings;
move or install new batteries on the balcony or loggia;
increase the balcony at the expense of the room;
make heated floors connected to general heating or water;
hide gas, water, heat supply and sewer risers in the walls;
hide electrical wiring in panel seams;
combine the bathroom with the living room;
move the bathroom to rooms that are located above/below the kitchen or neighbors’ rooms below or above;
enlarge the kitchen at the expense of living spaces;
combine the kitchen and living room in a one-room gasified apartment;
demolish ventilation ducts or reduce their diameter.

All prohibitions are based on safety rules and sanitary standards; they cannot be ignored.

A short reminder about what is possible and what is not possible when remodeling

Who can obtain permission for redevelopment.

Only the owner of the apartment or a person who acts under a power of attorney from the owner.

As practice shows, people postpone the registration of redevelopment carried out in an apartment until employees of the Housing Inspectorate arrive, or until the transaction for its sale is finalized. Buyers always want to be sure that there will be no problems with a future purchase, and before the transaction they ask to provide a certificate from the BTI or a technical passport to make sure that there are no illegal redevelopment (red lines on the technical passport). If the transaction is made using credit funds (mortgage), the bank also requests BTI documents.

Illegal redevelopment can disrupt the sale of an apartment; the Housing Inspectorate will impose a fine and issue an order to restore the layout to its original condition. Everything will have to be returned to its original form at your own expense and within the time frame set by the inspection.

To coordinate the future layout, you need to order a redevelopment project from the relevant design organization. Then, with this project and documents on ownership of the apartment, you must contact the Housing Inspectorate or the architecture department of the Administration to obtain a “Decision on the approval of future redevelopment.” After completing all the redevelopment work, you need to re-apply to the relevant authority to obtain a “Certificate of Completed Redevelopment” of the apartment.

If the redevelopment was carried out without approval, you must order a “Technical report on the admissibility and safety of the redevelopment work performed” and apply with the said conclusion to the authorized body to receive a “Certificate of Completed Redevelopment” of the apartment.

But not every redevelopment can be approved in the form in which it was carried out. And as a way out of the situation, the layout will have to be partially brought into compliance with legal requirements.

conclusions

If it is necessary to develop a project plan for redevelopment, care should be taken to ensure that the document is readable for officials. The simpler, more compact and easier it is to write out all the information about upcoming changes, the higher the likelihood of quick positive approval. Providing additional information leads to more complicated papers and creates a negative perception.

Even each specific Moscow district has its own approval specifics, which confirms the need to study documentation, norms and construction features for a specific locality or part of it.

Moreover, different departments of the Housing Inspectorate differ in their own internal procedures, which is reflected in the different attention of the organization’s employees to certain points of the project plan. This requires constant adjustments to the document at the creation stage.

Documents for drafting

The design bureau usually asks to provide:

BTI technical passport - consists of a floor plan and explication;
design project for future redevelopment (available);
documents for the apartment - an extract from the Unified State Register or a certificate of registration of ownership.

If during repair work you plan to affect common property, in addition to the package of documents, you also need a protocol of the meeting of homeowners. And when affecting the facade of a building, permission from the Moscow Committee for Architecture (regions may have their own authorities).

Why is the project needed?

Redevelopment is changes that require mandatory inclusion in the technical passport of the apartment. You can arrange the redevelopment yourself.

In the internal space, the size of the usable area can expand due to the insulation of the loggia.

The number and size of rooms will change, therefore, it will be a different object compared to the one for which you have a certificate. Such changes must be coordinated with government authorities , and a new property document must be obtained, thus legitimizing the redevelopment.

If you plan to redevelop a Khrushchev building, the project has not been drawn up or agreed upon, then it will be considered illegal .

The amount of the fine for illegal redevelopment is set by the state.

It is very difficult to sell an apartment with illegal redevelopment, and after this it cannot be re-registered to another owner by inheritance or deed of gift. A privatized object with illegal redevelopment will also not be deprivatized.

What is the price

The exact cost of the apartment redevelopment project will be told to you directly at the design office.

The average price of projects in Moscow is from 15,000 to 40,000 rubles. The technical report is either included in the cost of the project or paid separately. If load-bearing walls are affected, then in Moscow you need to obtain a technical report from the author of the house (MNIITEP). The cost is quite high - 70,000 rubles.

Design bureaus can offer services for coordinating turnkey redevelopment. Payment will be higher than for one project without approval from the administration. The cost of support ranges from 40,000 to 90,000 rubles.

Where to contact?

You can start the procedure by contacting the Housing Inspectorate of the city or county. In addition, there are a lot of design organizations that specialize in drafting projects and approving documents.

for owners of apartments in new buildings to order an apartment redevelopment project for approval (a sample can be downloaded above) from the organization that designed their building. This way you will receive a project taking into account all the features of the object and avoid copyright infringement.

Important : Before concluding an agreement with a design bureau, find out whether it has a license or a certificate of authorization to work.

Is it possible to make an apartment redevelopment project yourself?

It can be developed, but it cannot be agreed upon.

We are talking about cases when a project and a technical report are needed to redevelop an apartment. We found out that only organizations that have permission from the SRO to carry out design work are authorized to manufacture them. Proof of this status is the Certificate and the author's supervision agreement.

An ordinary person does not have such documents, and education and the ability to draw and file sheets are not enough. That is why the project must be ordered only from the designer.

Important! The sheet with the entry of the project manager must be certified by the signature of the person in charge and the seal of the organization.

Explanatory note

Introduction

The document according to which the design development of documentation for redevelopment with the characteristics of housing was initiated is indicated. A general descriptive list of the required changes in the layout of the apartment is provided.

Total information

It contains the exact address of the reconstruction object and a list of documentation, Codes of Rules, Norms, SNiPs, GOSTs and other bills on which the design organization relies. The document number must be indicated and signed by the head and engineer of the organization .

Architectural and construction solutions

Submitted in the form of a technical specification with a complete list of activities that will be carried out in the reconstructed housing. The address of the property and its location on the floor of the building are indicated. Certified by the signatures of the manager and engineer.

The changes are described in more detail with a precise indication of the type and nature in the architecture and design of the apartment , electrical equipment system, sewerage, water supply, ventilation, heating. If there is a change in the location of large household appliances, ventilation and plumbing units, new installation locations are listed. Contains recommendations regarding designer supervision and hidden work.

Changing housing systems

Changes to the following housing systems are described:

Electrical equipment and methods of connecting it, wiring, location of switches, junction boxes, etc.
Sewerage and water supply systems, including the nature of the pipes, couplings, and other materials used, their overall dimensions and material.
Ventilation and heating, listing the number of devices and changes made to the system.

The signature of the responsible person is required.

Author's supervision agreement (act of obligation)

It is concluded between the customer and the design company for the performance of hidden work by representatives of the organization. According to this document, the institute or design bureau certifies acts for the installation of podiums, floor sound insulation, metal reinforcement of openings, and waterproofing. Signed by the customer and the head of the design organization, additionally certified by the wet seal of the company.

Fire fighting actions

A list of actions taken by employees of the design organization aimed at ensuring fire safety is described. The standards and requirements according to which these rules were developed are indicated.

List of conditions for carrying out civil works

The conditions are listed under which there will be no violation of construction standards, taking into account the characteristics of the entire building and housing as well. At the same time, safety rules are observed as a result of the subsequent operation of the apartment, for example, the use of those materials for partitions and screeds that create increased loads.

Recommendations for noise protection

Recommendations for increasing noise protection during the relevant installation and construction work are listed, taking into account the Law “On Silence” and the specifics of the time allocated by the local government for repair work.

Copy of current permit

An SRO permit with a wet seal and signatures of the management of the design organization must be attached. For any company involved in the development of projects and technical documentation for residential real estate in a settlement or city, it is mandatory to be a member of the SRO - Self-Regulatory Organization in the field of design.

Reference! This confirms the competence to carry out appropriate developments for the reconstruction of premises.

Lawyer's answers to private questions

We want to remodel a mortgaged apartment. Do I need to coordinate the project with the bank?

Yes, this is a mandatory condition that is specified in the loan agreement. Usually there is a point whether it is allowed to remodel a mortgaged apartment. You can clarify this point with the bank manager. If the bank allows redevelopment, then the project is always ordered first. Then you need to contact the bank with an application. And only if approved, coordinate future work with the local government.

Is it possible to remodel an apartment according to a design project?

The design project has no legal force. It cannot be provided to the architecture department for approval of redevelopment. But you can designate a planning solution for the appearance of the apartment. It will be easier for the design organization to prepare a redevelopment project based on the original design project, which outlines in detail the locations of sockets, furniture, sinks and other elements in the apartment. And now with a full-fledged project, you can go to the approval of the redevelopment of the residential premises.

Is it possible to order a project if the redevelopment is initially flawed?

It is possible, but not every company with permission from the SRO will undertake the preparation of the project. Most likely, you will be asked to correct the violations, and only then draw up a legal redevelopment project. Think about it, is it worth the risk for a dubious result in the form of repairs with violations? It will not be possible to legitimize it even through the courts.

What it is?

Often, apartment owners confuse two concepts such as redevelopment project and a design project .

A design project is essentially a sketch of the appearance of your home after changes have been made.

It has no legal force and is compiled solely for you.

An apartment redevelopment project (a sample document can be viewed here) is a document that will include the ideas of the design project, and will also reflect all the changes planned in relation to the old plan. It is possible that not all of the designer’s ideas will be translated into reality, since they may be limited by the technical characteristics of the building .

There are unacceptable changes to the internal space (demolition of load-bearing walls, location of bathrooms and kitchens above or below living quarters, installation of fireplaces in panel houses, dismantling and relocation of gas risers) that cannot be included in the project, since such a document cannot be agreed upon.

Where to make an apartment redevelopment project? The project is compiled by specialized organizations that have a license ( SRO approval ). This document has legal force and is subject to approval by the Housing Inspectorate .

In financial terms and in terms of speed of registration, it is more expedient to order it from an organization that also deals with the approval of the document . In this case, all the shortcomings made in the original version and not approved by the apartment redevelopment project will be eliminated by the drafters without additional costs on your part.

You will receive a guarantee for plan approval only if the requirements for the apartment redevelopment project comply with all regulations and the housing code . There is a list of dos and don'ts.

Not every repair requires the preparation of such a document. If you plan to replace the floor, finish the ceiling with a change in its configuration, glaze the balcony without insulating it or installing heating in it, replace plumbing equipment (for example, install a shower instead of a bath), you do not need to order a project .

Advice : If the planned changes affect load-bearing structures , and your apartment is in a new building , it is better to do the project with its author . This way you will be able to avoid liability in case of cracks in the walls or in any controversial situations.

Act of hidden work during redevelopment

It is necessary to know and remember that construction work carried out on the basis of a redevelopment project must be enshrined in the Hidden Work Act.

An act for hidden work is necessary for the owner or owner to confirm that all necessary work that cannot be seen (waterproofing, sound insulation, strengthening the opening) was carried out in accordance with the approved project and in accordance with the requirements of regulatory documents of the Russian Federation. The owner keeps the deed with a package of documents that relates to the redevelopment. At the same time, we recommend additional photographic recording of hidden work to resolve controversial issues in the future. Registration of a project for the redevelopment of non-residential premises does not provide for the execution of an act for hidden work; this action is formalized in a separate agreement for architectural supervision or by a construction organization carrying out these types of work.
