Construction in Greece

Many clients of Hayat Estate are interested in the possibility of investing in building in such an attractive country as Greece. What is the building in Greece?

So, you have made your home in Greece. What is needed to get started? As in any country in the world, the first step is to gain a plot of land for development.

Its cost will depend on some factors:

•  remoteness from the sea (closer - more expensive);
•  the surrounding landscape;
•  proximity to settlements or their centers;
•  Improvements in infrastructure, technology, and other areas are also necessary.

All plots of land allocated for development are divided into two types:

• within the limits of the settlement;
• outside the city.

The building density coefficient varies (from 0.4 to 2.4) depending on these two types.

According to Greek law, any construction in Greece must be environmentally friendly and in harmony with the natural environment. The government strives to preserve the beauty and originality of the country, affectionately called Hellas by the Greeks. There is always the opportunity to purchase land within the boundaries of urban development and away from cities (for lovers of family solitude) in the country.

A big plus of construction in Greece is at least 300 clear and warm days during the year, which allows you to speed up the construction process as much as possible. In connection with the crisis in the country, prices for the provision of construction services have decreased significantly. Yes, and the bulk of the building materials is locally produced, which also reduces the facility's construction cost.

After purchasing a piece of land, you must get a building permit. It requires project documentation developed by the building codes of Greek law and current regulations. It must remember that Greece is in a seismic zone and must consider this during construction and design.

The major projects required to get the Permit are:

• topographic plan;
• architectural project;
• bearing frame (calculation of static loads and anti-seismic effects, walls, foundations, and roofing);
• the energy efficiency of the building;
• water supply;
• sewerage;
• heating system;
• conditioning;
• electrical equipment;
• lifts;
• gasification;
• passive and active fire protection;
• plan-schedule of construction
• project budget.

The exact cost of obtaining a permit is determined by the standard size of the building, the nature of the work to be done, payment for engineering and design services, government fees, charges to third organizations, inspection fees. The ultimate cost is calculated by the Hellenic Chamber of Technology and is subject to a joint agreement between the builder and the owner.
