Building procedures and consultancy
Giving shape to procedures
The quality of a project also depends on how clearly design, rules and authorisations are coordinated.
The service
Building procedures for renovating and building
We identify the correct procedure for the planned works and prepare the documents needed to file or apply for the building title (titolo edilizio). The work may concern maintenance and renovation, changes of use, extensions, new buildings and interventions on existing properties.
In the municipalities of southern Lake Garda, the widespread presence of landscape protection often makes it necessary to coordinate the building procedure with the landscape authorisation and with the opinions of the competent authorities.
- CILA, CIL and SCIA (Italy’s certified notices for building works)
- Building permit (Permesso di Costruire) and alternative procedures
- Ordinary or simplified landscape authorisation
- Applications to the Soprintendenza (the State heritage authority) for listed buildings
- Access to municipal building records and compliance checks
- Property due diligence and client assistance
- Party-appointed technical consultancy
Urban planning: implementation plans and subdivisions
Beyond the scale of the single building, the studio follows the urban design of development areas: implementation plans, subdivisions and planning agreements for residential or business districts, in coordination with the municipal technical offices and with the other professionals involved.
Experience gained in planning matters, including at institutional level, helps us read the local planning instruments — the PGT (Piano di Governo del Territorio, the municipal land-use plan), its rulebooks and landscape components — and build proposals consistent with them.
Advice before decisions
A preliminary technical check can be valuable before buying, selling, dividing or transforming a property. We analyse documents, the state of the premises, rules and restrictions, and give the client an intelligible picture of possibilities and critical points.
The studio handles applications and consultancy in Sirmione, Desenzano del Garda, Lonato del Garda, Pozzolengo, Peschiera del Garda and the other municipalities of southern Lake Garda and its hinterland.
Talking costs nothing.
A phone call or an email is enough to work out, together, the most useful first step for your property.

Frequently asked questions
Before you start.
Which procedure do I need for a renovation?
It depends on the works, the property and the setting. After a preliminary check, the correct title is identified: it may be a CILA, a SCIA, a building permit or a different procedure.
When is landscape authorisation required?
Whenever the works affect a property or an area subject to landscape protection and do not fall within the excluded cases. The procedure may be ordinary or simplified.
Do you also act as party-appointed technical consultants?
Yes. Andrea Volpi provides technical consultancy and client assistance, with document analysis, surveys and technical assessments related to the case.
Do you handle implementation plans and subdivisions?
Yes. The studio takes care of the urban design of development areas and new settlements, from the first checks with the municipal offices through to the planning agreement and the design of the related works.
