COMPLETE ARCHITECTURAL MISSION
Our Complete Mission Service provides comprehensive architectural support, guiding you through every stage of your project, from initial design to construction completion. This service is tailored to your unique needs and ensures full attention to every detail, covering both design and construction phases.
- Feasibility Study - We collect your requirements, budget, and administrative documents (e.g., cadastral plans, urban planning certificates) to assess the potential and constraints of your site or project.
- Preliminary Studies (Sketches) - We develop initial design proposals, considering your needs, budget, and site constraints. These studies are presented in detailed graphic files, including floor plans and volumetric representations for clarity.
- Outline Design (APS) - We refine the project by exploring materials, construction techniques, and general volumetry. Plans become more detailed, allowing for informed decision-making. This is the concept project phase.
- Detailed Design (APD) - The design is finalised, with precise plans, sections, elevations, material descriptions, and a global financial estimate of construction costs.
- Planning Applications - We prepare and submit all necessary documents for building permits or prior declarations, ensuring compliance with current regulations.
- Detailed Project Design (PDC) - We provide a comprehensive technical file, including all construction plans, a detailed technical plans.
- Contractor Consultation - We help to find and consult contractors to make sure they are carefully selected and aligned with your project’s goals and standards.
- Site Supervision - We oversee the construction process to ensure works align with the design, organise regular site meetings, and manage any unforeseen issues. Progress is diligently documented and shared.
See How - Step by Step - We Turn Our Project Into Reality
We begin with an in-depth analysis of the site or existing building to assess potential and constraints. This includes reviewing regulations, exploring possibilities, and aligning the project with your vision and budget.
Once the design is approved, we develop precise technical details and coordinate with contractors during construction. We oversee the process to ensure everything is executed to the highest standard and stays true to the design.
BUILDING PERMIT ASSISTANCE
A building permit is a mandatory document required for most construction projects in the European Union. In France, the signature of a licensed architect is legally required for building permits involving new constructions or extensions exceeding 150 square meters of floor area, ensuring compliance with architectural and planning standards. Architects at WIEWIORA + ARCHITECTS are registered with the French l’Ordre des Architectes and qualified to practice and sign projects not only in France but also throughout the European Union.
Our role is to guide you through every step of this meticulous process, from initial studies to final approval. We begin by fully exploring your project, addressing all potential challenges, and refining the design during the preliminary phases. Only once the project is finalised and ready do we prepare and submit the necessary documentation, ensuring that your application meets all regulatory standards.

This careful approach, combined with our expertise, ensures our high success rate with urban planning departments. Our fees for building permits include these essential design phases and are calculated based on the complexity of the project.
Types of Building Authorisations in France:
Permis de Construire
Required for most large-scale projects or those in protected sectors, this document demands comprehensive architectural and administrative preparation. Approval typically takes up to 3 months once the application is submitted.
Déclaration Préalable
For smaller-scale modifications to existing buildings outside protected areas, this simpler process requires less documentation and has a shorter approval period of approximately 2 months.
Whether in France or elsewhere in the European Union, we bring expertise, precision, and a tailored approach to ensure your project progresses seamlessly from concept to approval. Reach out to us to learn which authorisation applies to your project and let us guide you through the process.

PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
Our hourly consultation service is perfect if you’re looking for quick, precise, and professional advice about your project. Whether onsite or at our office, we address your questions with tailored guidance and expertise.
Here are some of the common topics we can cover:
– How long will it take to design my project?
– What is the timeline from permit application to the start of construction?
– Is my project subject to approval by the *Architecte des Bâtiments de France*, and what does that mean?
– Can I add additional square meters to my existing house?
– How can I accommodate an extra floor on my property?
– What are the key considerations for planning a swimming pool?
While one of the most frequent questions is: How much will it cost? Without a proper project in place, this is one answer we simply cannot provide. However, this service will help you gain clarity on your project’s feasibility, timeline, and next steps.
Please note: If you decide to further proceed with your project through our studio, the cost of this consultation will be deducted from the overall project fee.
