The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
In June 2022, a new Construction Act came into force, introducing changes in the field of legalisation. As I encounter legalisation of illegal construction on a daily basis at work, she decided to describe in her diploma thesis the changes or differences between the two acts, what these changes mean for designers and what they mean for owners of buildings that need to be legalised. For better understanding, she will also explain the terms used in the legalisation process.
Problem
In June 2022, a new Construction Act came into force, introducing changes in the field of legalisation. As I encounter legalisation of illegal construction on a daily basis at work, she decided to describe in her diploma thesis the changes or differences between the two acts, what these changes mean for designers and what they mean for owners of buildings that need to be legalised. In the diploma thesis, she will describe the process of legalising a building based on the act and the various options that clients have for their building; different forms of legalisation and the documentation required for this form of legalisation.
Solution and Method
For better understanding, she will also explain the terms used in the legalisation process. To facilitate understanding of why owners do not opt for legalisation, she will also describe the cost and time frame for preparing the documentation. She will present the changes in the field of legalisation between the old and new Construction Act and, based on the descriptions, determine whether the changes are positive or negative for the designer.
She will describe the process, procedures and problems that may be encountered during the preparation of the necessary documentation for legalisation. For this purpose, she will describe the process for two different projects in which she participated. In order to demonstrate the change between the acts, she will describe a project of classic legalisation, where the process did not change with the amendment of the act, and a project of legalisation of a long-standing building, which was simplified and accelerated after the amendment of the act.
Within the framework of the umbrella theme for 2022, which is net zero future, she briefly described ways to reduce carbon production in existing buildings. She also presented a project in which she applied new knowledge about building legalisation; in the process of reconstructing the building, the described methods will be used for better energy efficiency and consequently reduction of living costs in the described building. Based on all the information obtained about the changes and participation in legalisation projects, she will subjectively define how these changes affect the scope of work from the designer's side.
