Who is this service for?
Owners who want to build their home from scratch.
Construction companies with residential or commercial projects.
People who need to extend, modify, or regularize an existing structure.
Real estate agencies with pending legalization processes.
Frequently asked questions
Most delays are not caused by the process itself, but by technical or regulatory inconsistencies in the documentation, errors in Land Use Plan (POT) compliance, lack of coordination between designs, or incomplete studies. Our approach is based on prevention, not correction. We review the project comprehensively before submission, aligning architecture, regulations, technical requirements, and the client's needs.
The fee proposal we offer is limited to the professional fees for the studies and designs. In addition to this amount, the client must cover the fixed and variable costs charged by the urban planning authorities, as well as urban outline taxes.
Yes, we manage construction permits in different municipalities across Colombia, aligning each project with local regulations. More than operating in multiple cities, our value lies in our capacity for regulatory adaptation. We understand that each territory has its own rules, timelines, and criteria, and we structure the process accordingly to achieve the respective approval.
