The service at a glance
WHAT IS INCLUDED AND WHAT IS NOT PROMISED
Every town hall has its own by-law, its own forms and its own way of counting deadlines. What is a one-day responsible declaration in one municipality is a licence with a fire service report and three months' wait in the next.
What it includes: identifying the applicable regime: licence or responsible declaration; coordinating the technical project and sector reports; filing, payment of fees and tracking to decision. What it does not include: it does not include the fees of the technician who draws up the project or the municipal charges, which are quoted and paid separately.
DOCUMENTS YOU WILL NEED
Deed or contract evidencing your right to the premises or land.
Technical project or memorandum, as the by-law requires.
Cadastral reference and site plan.
INDICATIVE TIMING
We answer your enquiry within 1 working day and send the written quote within 2 working days.
Once your documents are complete, we prepare the file between 7 and 15 working days.
Town halls decide within very different timescales; a responsible declaration authorises immediately while a major works licence can take months.
See the pricing page for how we charge this kind of matter.

Frequently asked questions
CAN I OPEN WHILE IT IS BEING PROCESSED?
It depends on whether your activity goes by responsible declaration or by licence or environmental authorisation: with a responsible declaration, usually yes; with a licence or authorisation, no. We confirm this before you open.
MY WORKS HAVE BEEN STOPPED.
Usually because the wrong regime was chosen or a report is missing. Regularising the works is a separate service: if you have been served a stop-work order, we pass it the same day to a person on our team, because the appeal period is 1 month from notification.
DO YOU WORK IN ANY MUNICIPALITY?
Yes, across the country. The by-law changes; our procedure does not.
