These construction articles explain the information needed before designing, renovating or building in Slovenia. They connect practical project examples with the different stages of documentation. Start with the topic closest to your current decision.
Construction articles for the planning stage
A clear brief and reliable site information give the design a useful starting point. Our articles explain concept design, ground investigations and the role of DGD documentation. They also distinguish property records from permits and the actual building condition.
Read about preparing for concept design or documentation for opinions and a permit. Check the relevant official requirements for your location and proposed works.
Structural details and execution
Calculations and drawings should describe the same solution. The retaining wall examples show how ground assumptions, dimensions, reinforcement and drainage belong together. Other articles discuss load-bearing walls and the information needed for an existing structure.
Explore retaining wall design and structural design services. Use the project examples to understand the documentation, rather than transferring their dimensions to another site.
Renovation and supervision
Existing buildings need a reliable record of their present condition. Drone images and 3D models can support that work. The designer still needs to assess the information and identify where measurements or further investigation are required.
Our renovation articles connect surveys, thermal details, quantities and construction supervision. Grant articles retain their original dates. Check the current public call before preparing a new application or budgeting for financial support.
Discuss the next step
Use our contact form to send the location, proposed intervention and available documents. We can then define the relevant design scope. Further official guidance is available through the Slovenian Spatial Information System.
