Common questions about residential planning in Porto
Our core deliverable is measured plans and layout drawings. We can prepare documentation suitable for licensing, but formal submission and architect-of-record services are quoted separately when required by the project scope.
A typical apartment up to 120 m² requires half a day on site plus two to three business days for drawing production. Townhouses and multi-level properties may need a full day and additional drafting time.
Yes. We deliver PDF and DWG files formatted for builders. A coordination call with your empreiteiro can be arranged at €140/h if technical questions arise during obra.
Existing and proposed floor plans at 1:50 scale, wall demolition and new partition indications, door swings, basic furniture layouts and notes on structural assumptions. Structural engineering is referred to licensed partners when load-bearing walls are involved.
No. Planta Residencial focuses exclusively on existing residential properties—apartments and townhouses—where accurate documentation and thoughtful layout changes make the greatest difference.
Standard packages include one revision cycle after you review the initial layout. Additional iterations are billed at €140/h or quoted as a fixed supplement depending on scope.
Pre-purchase consultations are available at €140/h. We review floor plans or conduct a brief site visit to flag layout constraints, storage potential and likely licensing considerations.
We work across central Porto, Foz, Matosinhos, Gaia and surrounding parishes. See our Areas page for detail on travel and site visit scheduling.
