The building and transport sectors comprise the largest consumers of energy in the country. The buildings in Greece are responsible for approximately 36% of the total energy consumption, while during the period 2000-2005, they increased their energy consumption by approximately 24%, one of the most sizeable increases in Europe. One of the basic reasons why Greek buildings are especially energy-intensive, is their old age and the lack of integration of modern technology in them, due to the lack of relevant laws in the last 30 years.

Most of these buildings face issues such as:

-Partial or complete lack of thermal insulation 
-Outdated window frame technology (panes/single glass) 

-Deficient sun protection of their southern and western faces
-Inadequate utilization of the country’s high sunlight potential
-Inadequate maintenance of heating/cooling systems resulting in a low output

The benefits of energy efficiency upgrade of existing buildings are the following:

-Leads to a lower operation cost, especially nowadays with the ever increasing prices of petrol
-Contributes to the environment’s protection
-Enhances the internal climate and improves quality of life
-Increase the cost of a property, as a building with a high energy efficiency class (higher than B) is more cost-efficient than a building with a lower energy efficiency class and hence can earn a higher rental/sale amount

The implementation of all these interventions (e.g. thermal insulation, replacement of window frames, upgrading heating – cooling – warm water systems, shading systems, green roofs) in order to obtain the desired result based on the study of the building’s energy consumption

Our company undertakes the issue of building permits, the supervision and construction of any type of private residential project. With excellent knowledge of the current laws we prepare the investigation, issue the building permit and supervise the construction of your building.

Our contractors who are selected under strict criteria, combined with the use of the appropriate materials, will undertake the construction of your building, under the continuous and thorough supervision of our firm’s experienced partners/affiliates.

We undertake the settlement of unlawful buildings or constructions or changes of use according to the new law 4178/2013 «Addressing Unlawful Construction – Environmental Equilibrium and Other Provisions».

The procedure our firm follows for the correct and detailed handling of each case separately is the following:

1.An on site inspection of the owned property and a comparison of its current state with the official plans held by the city planning commission if available
2.Informing the owner about the legalization cost and repayment options.
3.Preparing the documents for entry into the law settlement of unlawful buildings
4.After paying the fine the property is accurately and exactly measured and new schemes are produced reflecting the current configuration.
5.The payment of the legalization cost through the selected way of payment.
6.Documentation of the procedure’s completion and certificate of legality.

The aforementioned procedure consisting of 6 steps is simplified even further through the electronic submission and processing of the unlawful building – without the involvement of city planning commision services and the time consuming bureaucratical procedure.

Ways of payment of the cost of settlement

-One-off payment with a 20% reduction of the total cost
-A 10% reduction of the total settlement cost with an advance payment of 30% of the sum and the rest through installments
-Monthly or quarterly installments of minimum 50€ each without a reduction
