Reshaping an apartment: luxury or necessity?

Demolition of old partitions or the erection of new ones -these are jobs that require the most careful control, because the mistakes made can lead to terrible consequences. Therefore, the basis for redevelopment or reconstruction of premises is a special permit issued by the city housing inspection.

To get such permission it is necessary to file a package of documents for consideration by the commission. First, you need to get BTI (Bureau of Technical Inventory) a copy of the floor plan of the building and the explication of the BTI.

Based on these copies, develop a redevelopment project. To develop a project are only entitled tothose design organizations that have a license for a similar type of activity. Further the project should be coordinated with the fire department and state sanitary epidemiological supervision, with housing and gas inspections. It is also necessary to obtain permission from the organization on whose balance sheet the building is located.

An obligatory condition for re-planning an apartment is also special expertise, which will determine whether it is possible to conduct workon re-planning in this room. Such expertise is needed not just for a "tick", it avoids the various unpleasant "surprises" that old buildings can present.

As you can see, the preparation of thedocumentation and the project itself re-planning - the procedure is very long and difficult. But do not be tempted to make a redevelopment without all these permits and approvals - it's illegal. At best, you will have to pay a fine if you find yourself "amateur", at worst - you will be obligated at your own expense to return everything to its former places.

How to be, if re-planning for any reasons is difficult or even impossible? You can try to change the layout of yourapartments "little blood." For example, instead of building walls, you can divide the room with mobile partitions - no permits are needed for this.

In accordance with the prevailing stereotypes ofThe living room is allocated to the most spacious room. And what if you do not have a living room in a room like this, but a bedroom, with a place for a study or a child's corner in it? For a family that does not take a lot of guests every day, the living room, equipped in a smaller room, is quite suitable.

If you replace the interior doors with arched openings, then the room can be made visually more spacious, lighter. And, again, no agreement is needed for this.

Even just looking at the placement in a new wayfurniture in your apartment, you can refresh the interior and improve the situation. For example, a two-sided rack, occupying half or 2/3 of the width of the room, allows this room to be divided into functional areas without resorting to the erection of partitions. Such a rack can be filled with books or decorative objects.

Reshaping an apartment is a responsible step, after allbuilding anew is always more difficult than breaking down. Therefore, before proceeding with the redevelopment of the apartment, it is necessary to clearly understand what the future planning will be and how comfortable and functional it will be.
