This document isn’t legally required, but it’s strongly recommended before purchasing land. It confirms that the plot is suitable for building. In many cases, the current owner may already have it, particularly if a development project has been approved in the past.

The construction license officially authorizes building to begin. Depending on the municipality, it may be granted after approval of the architectural project or only once the technical plans have also been approved.

​After the building work is complete, you’ll need to obtain a habitation license before moving in. This certifies that the property meets all safety and living standards. Without it, utility services like water and electricity cannot usually be connected.

Once the land is confirmed as buildable, we will prepare the initial design proposal. This includes the overall layout, architectural drawings, and a description of the materials and finishes to be used. The local council (Câmara Municipal) will review and approve these plans to ensure they meet planning and building regulations.

Once the architectural and technical designs are approved, detailed construction drawings are prepared. These specify all the practical details required on site—such as lighting layouts, equipment placement, window and door schedules, construction details, etc. These drawings serve as the reference for the building team.

After the architectural project is approved, the next step is to produce a detailed technical plan. This covers all engineering aspects, such as electricity, water, sewage, insulation, and other structural details. Specialists and utility companies are usually involved in this phase.

During construction, we visit the site to ensure that the approved plans are being implemented correctly. This supervision helps maintain design integrity and compliance with legal and technical requirements.
