From plot to building permit in 5 steps

Own a plot but not sure where to start? A building permit begins long before the first line is drawn. In five steps: zoning status and the plot (zoning certificate, TAKS/KAKS ratios, setbacks, number of storeys, soil survey); preliminary design (brief, orientation and views, massing decisions); coordinated architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical construction drawings; chamber approvals, building inspection, site manager and fees; and finally the municipal review, any revisions and the building permit.

As project author and responsible engineer, we handle the whole process in-house, from zoning status to permit and from foundations to turnkey completion. The first meeting and plot assessment are free of charge.

A living room, lived in anew

A living space we renewed in Menderes: vivid green and petrol velvet against a dark textured wall panel, the warmth of timber slats and a marble-textured TV wall.

Materials: velvet, timber slats, marble texture and 3D wall panels. Lighting: track spotlights on the ceiling and concealed light behind the slats and the unit. Layout: a generous corner sofa and a seating arrangement that puts the artwork centre stage. From kitchens to bathrooms, from lighting to bespoke furniture: we design interiors and we build them.

A basement on a sloping plot

On a sloping plot, a basement anchors the house in the ground and gains an extra storey with a view. A 3.5-storey house with basement from our Kamukent site: a reinforced concrete wall on the side facing the soil, where insulation and drainage are applied; a narrow ribbon window at the top of the basement; the load is carried by a frame of columns, beams and slabs, while brick walls divide the spaces.

In Kamukent, every plot's type is defined in the zoning plan; write to us with your block and parcel number to find out the type of your plot. In the next note: advanced shell construction.

The hidden skeleton of a building

Once the concrete is poured none of it is visible, which is why we show it. From raft reinforcement to columns, from slabs to beam–column joints: step by step from our Kamukent site.

Longitudinal bars, stirrups, cross-ties, concrete cover and 135° hooks: each is part of an earthquake-resistant building. The hidden part matters as much as the visible one.

Raft foundation, step by step

The most important part of a house is the part you will never see. From our Kamukent site we explained the raft foundation step by step: excavation and blinding concrete, waterproofing, reinforcement, concrete and frame.

If you own a plot in Kamukent, we manage the entire process under one roof, from the soil survey to the permit and from the foundation to turnkey handover.
