Neighbour consent and a neighbour’s position in a permit procedure are different questions. A project needs a review of its effects, the required agreements and local planning conditions. Living next door does not explain every procedural right or required consent. Participation and a legal interest The relevant legal interest concerns the protection of legally recognised […]
Category Archives: Construction articles
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.

A geotechnical report is an important input for foundation design. It gives the designer information about soil, groundwater and conditions at the site. The building can then be designed around the actual ground rather than an assumption based on its appearance. What a geotechnical report explains Similar-looking sites can contain different layers and behave differently […]

Defining both parts before construction helps the client understand what support is included. Core construction supervision The supervisor follows the quality of work and its compliance with the relevant documentation. Products, materials and supporting […]

Project documentation develops through several connected stages. A clear brief, reliable parcel information and an agreed commission provide a useful starting point. Each later stage should build on decisions that have already been coordinated. Prepare a useful first meeting Bring the location, parcel details and any existing documents. Planning information from the municipality helps explain […]

A standard house plan can help you define a preferred size, layout and appearance. It still needs to be checked against your parcel and requirements. Our practice aims to adapt the solution to the client rather than asking the client to fit an unsuitable layout. Adapting a standard house plan Possible changes include a garage, […]

Structural calculations establish how the load-bearing system responds to the relevant actions. The results must be carried through into drawings that explain the members, connections and reinforcement. A calculation and a construction drawing are parts of the same design. Structural calculations and the construction set We prepare structural documentation for masonry, reinforced concrete, timber and […]

A building permit starts with an examination of the land and the proposed construction. The client’s wishes must be coordinated with planning conditions, access, services and property rights. Detailed design is more useful once these initial questions are understood. Develop the design in clear stages We review the parcel, spatial plan and information about existing […]
