What is a construction passport, and why do you need one

A construction passport for a land plot is a document that defines the urban planning conditions and restrictions for a specific plot: where the house can be located, how many floors it can have, required setbacks from neighboring boundaries, and other basic development parameters. For individual house construction, it's one of the common routes to a legal basis for starting work.

Why you need it

Without approved urban planning conditions, you can't legally start building a private house. The passport records exactly what, where, and how large you're allowed to build on a specific plot, aligning your plans with the area's urban planning documentation.

How it differs from a full project

A construction passport isn't a substitute for an architectural project — it's the permit basis on which that project is developed. The architectural and structural sections, the estimate, and the engineering solutions are the next, much more detailed level of documentation needed directly for construction.

When to get it

Ideally, at the start of work on the project, alongside the development of the architectural section, so the house's parameters are aligned with the permitted urban planning conditions from day one, and nothing needs to be redone after the fact.

Who handles it

Obtaining a construction passport is a procedure with clear document requirements, so in practice it's usually handled by the architect or the company running the project rather than the plot owner alone.

Support with obtaining the construction passport is already included in the Premium design package; in the Light and Basic packages, it can be ordered separately. Exact details for your specific plot will be confirmed by the architect after you fill out the design configurator.
