Navigating Bureaucracy

Architects & Permits

Navigating Italian bureaucracy so you don't have to

Why Permits Matter

Italian building regulations are strict, and unauthorized work can result in fines, forced demolition, and problems when selling your property. We ensure every project is fully compliant, protecting your investment and giving you peace of mind.

Types of Permits We Handle

From simple notifications to complex heritage approvals, we manage all permit requirements.

SCIA (Segnalazione Certificata di Inizio Attività)

The most common permit for renovation work in Italy. Required for internal modifications, system upgrades, and non-structural changes. We prepare and submit all SCIA documentation on your behalf.

Work can begin immediately after submission

Permesso di Costruire

Required for new construction, extensions, and significant structural modifications. We work with local Comune offices to secure approval for your project.

Typically 60-90 days for approval

Soprintendenza Approval

Required for properties in historic centers or protected buildings. We have experience navigating these complex requirements while preserving your renovation vision.

90-180 days depending on complexity

Condono & Sanatoria

If your property has unauthorized modifications from previous owners, we can help regularize the situation through the appropriate legal channels.
