PROJECT MANAGEMENT Over 25 renovation and reconstruction projects in Umbria! PROJECT
MANAGEMENT PERMITS Any work to the external facade of an Italian building requires a permit in order to be modified. The restrictions vary considerably from area to area and town to town. In the countryside permits can be granted in as little as 3-4 months. In areas considered the centro storico it can be as long as a year and half. Permit times and restrictions will also vary in regards to the structure. In Historical buildings you generally can not change the size or add windows. The volumn of the building must remain the same and the outside appearance can be limited in color or physical make-up Country houses have been granted a bit more leniency in regards to reconstruction and rennovation. Most farm houses and country houses in Umbria have the right to increase the volumn 10% and in many cases 100 square meters or more. Annex buildings that were formally used for animals or farm equipment can be converted into livable space and the volumn increased.
