Remodeling is a change in the configuration of an apartment (demolition and erection of walls), requiring a change in the technical passport. There are remodeling services that will professionally help you with your home.
There are two types of remodeling:
- Simple, in which a simplified approval procedure is required, where a redevelopment sketch is sufficient.
- Difficult, for the approval of which you will need a full-fledged project from a specialized construction company (with a permit from a self-regulatory organization).
Remodeling is a way to make your home much more comfortable. There is a huge variety of options for redevelopment of one-room, two-room or three-room apartments under the claims of the customer.
You will have to go through the procedure for legalizing redevelopment, having previously prepared the necessary list of documents. But the authorized bodies may not give permission for redevelopment, which can lead to serious monetary losses and even the loss of an apartment.
Coordination of the redevelopment of the apartment.
Almost all changes to the redevelopment of the apartment must be agreed before the moment when work begins.
Redevelopment of an apartment is a change in its configuration, which requires fixing in the technical documents of the dwelling. As it is known, during redevelopment, walls are destroyed or erected, apartments and rooms are combined or separated, which is the main difference from the reconstruction of an apartment, in which technical, engineering or electrical equipment is changed.
Some working parts without approval.:
- Cosmetic repairs (replacement of wallpaper, paint, floors, ceilings).
- Installation and dismantling of furniture (cabinets, sofas, etc.) and equipment (if the power consumption standards have remained the same).
- The replacement does not involve changing the position of technical and other equipment (replacement of plumbing, bathroom, etc.).
- Installation of antennas, air conditioners.
A number of works can be carried out without a project and agreed upon in a notification manner:
- Rearrangement of plumbing in the dimensions of the kitchen, toilet or bathroom.
- Seal up a doorway in a non-load-bearing wall.
- Glazing a loggia or balcony according to a standard project.
- Arrangement of openings of non-load-bearing partitions.
- Changing vestibules without increasing the external dimensions.
But some events are completely prohibited, they will not be legalized in the future:
- Deterioration of living conditions of people and operation of the house.
- Completely dismantle the supporting structures.
- Increase the use of the toilet, bathroom or kitchen at the expense of living space.
- Moving the kitchen to the place of the room.
- Installation of common batteries on balconies and loggias.
- Immuring or eliminating ventilation ducts.
- Make grooves in horizontal wall joints.
- Make openings, holes, niches in pylon walls or diaphragms (the same applies to columns and racks).
- Immuring engineering and other communications.
Types of remodeling.
There are simple and complex redevelopments, the order of coordination of which differs from each other.
Complex redevelopment includes:
- Works in the main walls and ceilings.
- The construction of walls increase the load on the floors.
- Installation of additional stairs.
- Changing the supporting structures.
- Combining loggias (balconies) with rooms.
- Changing the shape of windows and exterior doors.
- Other works involve major changes in the technical documentation.
Simple remodeling includes:
- The device of non-bearing partitions, without increasing the load on the floor.
- Bathroom combination.
- Combination of kitchen and room.
- Partial disassembly of a non-load-bearing wall.
- Closing doorways.
A simple redevelopment involves a simpler approval procedure. In addition, there is no need for separate approval from Rospotrebnadzor, the fire service, the architectural department and a number of other bodies.
Apartment redevelopment project.
One of the most important stages of redevelopment is design. In this case, it is possible to understand the features of the building and apartment (type, number of stories, materials used and other factors), as well as the requirements of norms and rules.
First, you need to draw up a draft design (various developments in redevelopment). And on its basis, specifying and detailing, a working draft is being made. The engineers of the organization develop this special document, which has special permits for such work (from the self-regulatory organization (SRO). If this document is not available, then it is impossible to carry out redevelopment and register an apartment. And then builders begin to work with the project, trying to fulfill the ideas of the designer and customer as accurately as possible.
It is important to note that only those actions that must be reflected in the technical passport will be considered redevelopment; other works do not require coordination.
Project documentation, as a rule, contains:
- A sheet with information about the organization carrying out the project, the year of its creation of the project, address, name and other details.
- Title page. Signatures and seals of persons and organizations responsible for the project.
- General datasheet. List or statement of drawings, inventory of attached documents, permits and plans.
- Explanatory letter. Intermediate plan with the location of appliances and partitions.
- Plan before the refurbishment. An explanation (list of premises) with a numbered area and purpose, as well as the current state of the premises and the planned change.
- Dismantling and assembly plan. Contains information about demolition and wall construction.
- Plan after the renovation. Reflects symbols, inscriptions about measurements, materials used, redevelopment format.
- Schemes of waterproofing and explication. Necessary when changing floors, moving or expanding a bathroom, and configuring hidden communications.
- Water supply and sewerage.
- A work permit issued by a self-regulatory organization.
- Graphic design of the working project.
- The procedure for strengthening load-bearing structures.
- The architectural supervision agreement concluded with the original designer of the building or his successor.
- Thermal calculation. The balance of temperature distribution in the building.
Conclusion
Redevelopment is a serious initiative. It can bring both a lot of benefits for the owner of the apartment and develop into big troubles (fines, the obligation to return the apartment to its previous state, deprivation of the apartment).
In conclusion, it should be noted that at the moment this procedure is quite complicated for an ordinary citizen, it is necessary to go through a large number of instances and collect many different documents.
